To lull the never-ending urge to surrender to his animal side, Lucas relies on the highly toxic plant aconite to keep him in a constant state of numbness. Cold and detached from those around him, nothing and no one in his life is significant enough to matter. Until the alphas stepdaughter moves into town. Lucas knows she’s off limits-especially to him, but even he can’t deny the captivating pull he feels towards her.
Seventeen-year-old Abigail is less than thrilled about spending the summer with her step-dad in a ranch for delinquent teenage boys. Not to mention it’s in the middle of nowhere, in a town where people don’t lock their doors at night. The people of Ridgeford, West Virginia have many secrets but none so shocking as the moment Abby discovers they’re all Lycans.
As Lucas struggles to keep himself untouchable emotionally, Abby is slowly drawn into the dangerous world of Lycans. When the townspeople start showing up dead Lucas will do all he can to keep her safe--even if it means giving himself over to the monster within.
