Meriah T.

When Black tries to force a ring onto my finger, I bolt. I escape the pack leader's clutches with Jonah, my best friend with benefits… who has become so much more. But then my body betrays me. My stupid wolf-shifter hormones send me spiraling into my first heat only hours after I flee. Desire blazes through my veins until it's so wild and fierce that it takes over my reality. It makes me hallucinate while I'm with Jonah and wish for things I don't want.

When my wolf appears for the first time, I'm so overjoyed that I don't think; I just run into the forest… and smack into Black Maddox, the leader of my pack. Only he doesn't believe that I'm what I say I am. He insists that I'm part of a rival pack and locks me up in his basement. Black's twice my age, insanely powerful, and has a streak of darkness running through him a mile wide and an ocean deep.
