When Isabelle “Izzy” Meyers arrives in Montana and discovers her human foster brother is marrying into the local werewolf pack, she's not exactly delighted by the prospect. To her, werewolves can't be trusted, even if she herself is one. That also means she has no time for any alpha barging into her territory and claiming to be her fated mate, which is what happens when Luke Wyland lays eyes on her. 

After a childhood marred by shifter violence, Luke is everything Izzy was raised to hate. Yet he's slowly breaking down her anti-wolf walls. Luke needs to protect her and look out for his thinning pack. Can Izzy be the mate he needs, or will she deny her true nature until the very end?
