Believing in real love had become a fantasy, something only found in the literature books her mother left her. Then she met the alpha of the rival werewolf pack. Fleeing, afraid, and numb to everything, with a false image painted of him, she could never have imagined that someone so ruthless and powerful could patch her up. Viktor, the alpha leader of the Frostbite clan, was handsome, powerful, elegant, and emotionless. What is she supposed to do when a werewolf like him, a sworn enemy, swears to protect her? Because the past always comes back and never goes away. Someone's hunting her. Someone's determined to make her life a living hell. And he's just as determined to hurt everyone who gets close to her.

Neither knows the true identity of the other, and a night of passionate recklessness ensues. The consequences are shattering—Lily is pregnant.
