Si Cassandra "Cassie" Saavedra, isang dalagang puno ng pag-asa para sa kanyang kinabukasan, ay nagiba ang mundo nang marinig niya ang isang nakakasakit na sikreto tungkol sa kanyang kasal. Habang naghihintay para sa kanyang prenatal checkup, hindi sinasadyang nakasaksi siya sa isang pag-uusap sa pagitan ng kanyang asawang si Tristan Troy Olivares at ng kanyang kapatid na si Chloe Ava Saavedra, na magbabago sa kanyang buhay magpakailanman. Ang kanyang asawa, na kanyang akala ay malamig at walang amor, ay naging malalim na kasangkot sa kanyang kapatid sa isang lihim na plano na kinasasangkutan ng kanilang hindi pa isinisilang na anak. Nalaman ni Cassie na siya ay isang surrogate lamang, nagdadala ng isang bata na naisip nina Troy at Chloe. Niloko at nasaktan, napilitang harapin ni Cassie ang isang masakit na katotohanan. Habang nakikipaglaban siya sa mga komplikasyon ng pag-ibig, pamilya, at panloloko, kailangan niyang pumili sa pagitan ng kanyang sariling kaligayahan at ang kabutihan ng anak ng kanyang kapatid. Ang kwento ay tumatalakay sa pangloloko, sakripisyo, at ang mga hangganan ng pag-ibig habang sinusubok ni Cassie ang kanyang mga paniniwala sa harap ng isang malaking pagsisinungaling. Habang si Cassie ay nagpupumilit na bumangon mula sa mga labi ng kanyang dating buhay, kailangan niyang pumili sa pagitan ng paghihiganti at pagpapatawad.

Sa mundo ng mga makapangyarihan, ang pag-ibig ay hindi isang pagpipilian—ito'y isang kasunduan. Para kay Klarise Olive, isang mailap at napakagandang ballerina sa Paris, at kay Louie Ray, isang mapagmataas at aroganteng billionaire cosmetic surgeon, ang kasal ay isang tanikalang pilit isinuklob sa kanila. Isang kulungang hindi nila ginusto. Isang sumpaang hindi nila pinili. Isang umaga, dinala sila ng kanilang mga magulang sa isang seremonyang inakala nilang isang simpleng pagtitipon—hindi nila alam, sila pala ang mga bida sa isang kasalang hindi nila alam na kanila. Sa puting bestida at tuxedo, natagpuan nila ang kanilang mga sarili sa harap ng altar, walang ibang pagpipilian kundi ang lumakad at bumigkas ng panatang hindi nagmula sa kanilang puso. At sa simula pa lamang, ang kanilang pagsasama ay puno ng tensyon at pangamba. Si Klarise, na buong buhay niyang inalay sa sining at kalayaan, ay ngayon nakagapos sa isang relasyong hindi niya ginusto. Si Louie, isang lalaking hindi kailanman naniwala sa kasal, ay napilitang pakasalan ang babaeng hindi niya hinangad. Ang digmaan ng mga titig, sagutan, at matitinding emosyon ay namayani sa kanilang pagsasama. Ngunit sa bawat pagtatalo, sa bawat sulyap na puno ng galit at pangungutya, isang pagnanais ng pag-unawa at pagmamahal ang unti-unting sumisilip sa kanilang mga puso. Galit nga ba talaga ang namamagitan sa kanila? O mayroon bang alon ng pagmamahal na higit pa sa lahat ng kasunduan ? O may isang damdaming mas malalim, mas totoo, at mas mahirap ipagkaila? Sa gitna ng kanilang magkaibang mundo at personalidad, magsisimula silang hanapin ang kabuluhan ng kanilang piniling kasunduan.

SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK ONE *The six-pack series is a collection of steamy werewolf shifter novels about a group of six aligned werewolf packs, the young alphas that run them, and the strong-willed women that bring them to their knees. If you're new to the series, start here!* GRAY : I've got a lot on my plate. Not only do I have a pack to protect, but I keep the whole six-pack territory secure by training and running the security squad. The new recruits are here for the summer, and it's my job to whip them into shape. I can't afford any distractions, but one of the female recruits is doing just that- distracting me. Fallon is the most frustrating girl I've ever met; she's all alpha female, and she openly challenges my authority. She's so far from my type, but for some reason, I'm drawn to her. It'll be a challenge to break her, but by the end of the summer, she will learn to obey her alpha. By the end of the summer, I'll have her on her knees. ~ FALLON : All I've ever wanted was to be part of the six-pack's security squad, defending our territory as a fighter. I've finally got a chance to live out my dream- all I have to do is make it through summer training camp and prove myself. I thought that the toughest part of training camp would be the actual training, but the alpha running the place is even tougher. One sarcastic comment, and Alpha Gray seems hellbent on making an example out of me, provoking me at every opportunity. He wants me to fall in line, but I'll be damned if I'm going to roll over. Sure, he's insanely hot. He's an alpha. But I'm not backing down. He's not my alpha.
