Vivian McAllister is ambitious, calculated, cold, and willing to do anything to secure a place in a pack. Rogue for years, Vivian is determined to leave her life as a nomad behind and move on - even if her ex won't let her. Spencer Rone is unmated and prefers it that way. Without a mate to fawn over, he can focus all of his energy on the screwed up pack he inherited. Tasked with straightening out the most notorious pack in North America, Rone doesn't need any distractions. When Vivian marches onto Rone's territory, she does so with the intentions of wooing the Alpha into giving her prestige and power. What she never intended was to mate with Rone, the rookie Alpha with bedroom eyes and a more distant personality than her own. As Vivian and Rone struggle to make a future work, the past returns with the intention of claiming Vivian and damning Rone.
