An unmarried woman living in a house of men breeds hearsay and lore. If only the villagers knew the truth. It’s not Jem Stonehouse’s marital status that brings unwanted strangers to town. Rather, it’s that she is the only female werewolf in existence—a prize to any pack. Sean Holloway, the love of Jem’s life, has gone to great lengths to protect her. As a new attack becomes imminent, Sean realizes he must take greater measures with Jem’s safety or risk losing her forever. His first task must be to marry her, but a force greater than the largest werewolf stands in his way. Her mother.
