Natasha Volkov is a twenty-five year old American-born Russian who didn't know what to think when her parents told her they were moving. She had grown accustomed to her life in America, but since her parents won the lottery, there wasn't much she could say about it.
They settle in a small town in rural England. The town seems normal, but what greatly unnerves her are the "DO NOT ENTER" signs nailed onto the trees at the entrance of the woods and a giant ominous Gothic styled castle that seemed to watch over the town at the outskirts.
But when it comes time for her to finally mingle with the rest of the society, she only asked for a friend. However, she gains more - much more - than she bargained for.

That all changes when he rescues a human child after her family are killed by rogue shifters.

The Lycan's Flame
Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?Complete
