Sixteen. That's the magic number for young shifter girls. At sixteen, they shift for the first time. At sixteen, they start having the dreams that will point them to the one they'll spend the rest of their lives with.
Leah has loved Cole for as long as she can remember. He's the only boy she's ever wanted to dream about... and the one boy she's positive she'll never have thanks to the bitter feud that tore their families apart.
For years, Leah has watched Cole from a distance, convinced he'd someday choose another girl and that she'd have to find a way to survive. But everything changes the day Cole starts talking to her again and says he wants to be friends. Leah tries not to hope, not when her dreams have already been crushed. But hope is sometimes impossible to hold back, especially with her friends insisting he likes her too.
A fight and an almost-kiss shatter the fragile peace between them. Cole pulls away again, leaving Leah more confused than ever-and more certain that nothing real could ever happen between them. Which she tells herself is a good thing because it might mean lighting the fuse on World War Three. Still, that hope won't die. Especially not when she catches him watching her like that...
As Cole's birthday approaches, Leah braces herself for the dream that will pull him toward another girl, not daring to believe that someone as sweet and cute and amazing as Cole Barrett could possibly still be available by the time her birthday arrives.
But dreams have a way of surprising you-especially when they've been waiting a long time to come true.
