Girl Among Wolves

Up until now, my life was uneventful: I lived with my dad, went to school, and sometimes dealt with my unexplained headaches.

But in an instant, everything changes.

My father dies, and I’m left orphaned and alone.

That is, until I’m told that my estranged mother will take me in. When I arrive, I learn I have two sisters, but any dreams of belonging are destroyed when my new family treats me like a servant.

In fact, the entire community shuns me. I’m convinced they’re a cult, and I’m desperate to escape.

And then I meet the one boy who’s brave enough to flirt with me, despite my status. He’s gorgeous, intriguing… And completely rude half the time.

The harder I try to fight my attraction to the jerk, the more I want to know about him. But solving the mystery surrounding him may put the whole community in danger. I’m an outsider, after all.

Then I finally find out the truth: my entire family is made up of werewolves. So is the community. Worst of all, the boy I love is one of the monsters.

And they won’t just cast me out if I reveal their deadly secret.

They’ll kill me.

I only wanted to find my father. But the moment we’re reunited, the shifters attack.

What choice do I have but to save him?

I wake to find myself imprisoned with the injured, beastly Harmon. I’d do anything to escape and find my way back to my father. As time passes, I can’t help but wonder, why hasn’t he come for me? And why isn’t Harmon interested in escape?

As the beautiful boy with the strange eyes slowly reveals the truth about my parents, stepsisters, and even myself, I must choose whether to trust him and the pack that held me captive for so long or forge a path of my own.

But how can I choose my own path when every path seems to lead to Harmon?

This is a story of buried secrets and a love destined to overcome all odds. Not everything is what it seems in this retelling of the classic fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast, as you’ve never seen it before.

Determined to put silly notions of love behind me, I head into the woods to make my home alone. But when a mysterious stranger blocks my ability to shift, I must take refuge with a band of merry misfits in the Enchanted Forest for protection.

After all, my mother is out for my heart, though I can’t tell if she should take that literally or figuratively. And then there’s Harmon, the prince of the wolves, offering a place in his pack that I’m not sure I can accept after the terrible secrets he kept from me.

But as past, present, and future collide, I must learn not only to survive, but to forgive, accept the kindness of strangers, and embrace the role that destiny has chosen for me.
