He’s a powerful lycan with a dark past. There’s no way he’d ever notice a goody two-shoes like her… Vanessa knows she’s a pack princess. Born to carry on her bloodline, she’s been cossetted and wrapped in cotton wool all her life, ready for the day the mate her pack alpha chooses will claim her. That doesn’t stop her lusting after Jace Trenton, the Captain of the City Guards. A rough brawler from the streets, he’s everything she wants, but there’s no way he’d ever look at a pampered princess like her. Beautiful and a noblewoman, he never thought she’d look at him twice… Jace Trenton doesn’t have a drop of noble blood in his veins, but that doesn’t stop him lusting after Vanessa. He knows he’s not good enough for her, that she’s destined for a political mating that will bring power and prestige to her pack. But when she shows interest in him, no force on the planet will stop him claiming her. And when her brothers machinations put her in danger, he’ll do anything to protect her… Including taking on the most powerful werewolf in the city. This is the third book in the series, Shadow Cities Shifters.
