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.

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?
