"Don't run. You run, I chase. And if I chase... you won't like what happens when I catch you." After the death of my parents, I was sent to live with a man I'd never met. A man everyone in town seemed to fear, but no one dared to name. To me, he was just a stranger, older, brooding and unbelievably rude. Strict rules, locked doors and curfews I couldn't break. I would do anything to escape that place, including uncovering every last one of his dark secrets to use against him. But soon I find that the only way to escape the man I've come to know as "*Alpha*" is to uncover the truth about my own family. A truth that can only be revealed by the one man I should never trust. Because in his house, I'm not a guest. I'm prey.
