When Luna is discovered in the swamps near the neighboring wolf pack's territory, the Alpha instantly knows she's the rarest of treasures--his True Mate. From there, everything goes wrong. The pack doesn't understand Luna, and their customs are foreign to the young, lone wolf. Soon, their leader must make a terrible choice--to save the young wolf he's just met, who put the pack in danger, or put the pack first and lose his True Mate by severing their bond.

Mysterious. Dark. Deadly. They say crows are bad omens, but until I met them, a single crow was my only friend. Then, the boys next door come to welcome me to the neighborhood.

You might wonder how a nerd like me ends up dating the rough, cocky quarterback known for his playboy ways. The one who happens to be my bully that I'm already forced to tutor. For a smart girl, that might sound like a questionable decision, but there's a simple explanation. We're faking it. At least, that's the arrangement. So why does something other than fear tingle through my body every time he threatens to make me work off my debt in his bed? There's an explanation for that too. Sebastian Swift makes smart girls stupid.

It’ll be easy, my father said. When we move to a small town in the south, we’ll own it, my brothers said. After all, my family is rich as sin and used to getting whatever they want. How hard could it be? Except, when we arrive in Faulkner, someone already owns this town. The Darling family. They are every bit as wealthy as we are, and they’re not happy with our new money moving in.

After my father's murder, my mother broke with the Jacksonville Pack and became a lone wolf, retreating to the swamp to hide a secret she was determined to keep from the world - me. I grew up there, in the lush but dangerous no man's land populated by ogres, panthers, and bog hags. I've never spoken to a living soul when the Alpha of the Jacksonville Pack shows up claiming we share the rarest of bonds, that of True Mates. My inexperience and lack of social skills do not make for a good match. Broken and alone, I've all but given up hope when a strange man drags me from the weeds.

Used. Worthless. Broken. The Darlings think they won. They think they've beaten me, that I'm exactly what they call me - a dog. But there are things they don't know about my family. They don't know the lengths I'll go to get revenge. To protect my family. To honor my name. Devlin thinks he's done with me, but he's wrong. I'll never forget what he did to me, and I'll never let him forget. Not until I've had my revenge. Because Dolces don't break. We break hearts.

An eye for an eye. A heart for a heart. The war should be over. I got what I wanted. I should be happy. But nothing is as it should be. My brothers made the team, but they still want more. They don't rule the halls of Willow Heights, and they won't stop until they do. My father won't stop until he rules the town, even though my brother is unraveling and rumors about what really happened in that locker room have damaged my name. In the midst of it all, the boy who tormented me could be the one person I can trust.

The Dolces broke me, but with perseverance and dedication, Royal has begun to heal me. He nourishes my body and soul, and if I let him, he might just save me. But I’m not sure I can let him. After what he did, how can I let myself love again? But how can I help myself? Royal may be a broken man, even a monster, but he didn’t become that way overnight. He didn’t get there alone. I was part of his destruction, just as he was part of mine. And just as he has moved worlds to help me, I must atone for what I’ve done, too.

Being left at the altar would have been better. Instead, I'm sent away to a secluded spot where I can't disturb the happy couple--on my honeymoon without a bride. Left to lick my wounds and recover from the ultimate betrayal, I do what I do best.

Caught between my painful past and my impossible future, I find myself once again in Axel's clutches. My heart lies with the three rough men who took me in, but is that dream an impossible reality? No matter what he says, I can't trust Axel after what he did. Can I? When he sets out to prove himself worthy of repairing our bond, I'm pulled in two directions. My wolf wants her mate, but my human side wants the triplets who bring danger and excitement of their own. I know I'll have to choose soon. But how can I make a choice between my wolf and my human heart?

After Axel's house collapses on him during a hurricane, I'm desperate to reclaim my lost mate. Only with the help of the triplets, my own band of outlaw lovers, am I able to reconcile with the thought of losing him. Just as we think all is lost, Axel begins to recover. With the help of my love and the newly incorporated members of my group, the Jacksonville pack begins to rebuild after the devastating hurricane. But more threats lie ahead. When more of the giant mutant wolves who attacked me in the woods begin to appear on pack land, we must band together.
