Zane wants a favor, one that could cause an all-out pack war. The last thing I need is to make more enemies, but lives are at stake if I don't make a stand. Not only that, but I have a secret. An impossible secret that is going to turn the entire werewolf world upside down."--

They say a mother will do anything for her child ... I'm living proof. This nightmare began when I got the call every parent dreads. My daughter, Jenna, was missing from her college campus. Of course, my mind went to the worst place. After all, my late husband was a powerful senator. Was this some political payback? I call in a favor and soon I'm partnered with an FBI sex trafficking agent. He tells me local girls have been disappearing for some time now, and he finally has a lead. But what we find at that abandoned warehouse is something out of a horror movie. Werewolves! Two rival packs, their alphas fighting, winner take all--the pack and the trafficked girls. The werewolves must replenish their breeders, recently decimated by a virus that killed only the females. But Jenna's been keeping a secret, which only makes two of us. Though I should be angry, I know the lies I've told play a huge role in why we're here. I'll do anything to make it right. No way is my girl going to become a sacrificial mate for the greater good--even if she is the 'chosen one.' So, I do what any mother would do, I take her place, offering myself to Gideon, the winning alpha, as his mate. Gideon's goal is to live in harmony with the human world, but there are others who exist for the power, for the violence, and they don't plan to let peace prevail. There's a civil werewolf war brewing and I am right in the middle of it.
