Olivia Thomas is a waitress in a nightclub and the most excitement she has in her life is when a drunk customer babbles their sob stories to her. So boring, right?  And that’s the exact way Olivia wants things because behind her facade of average looks and mundane life, there lies a secret. A secret that means losing everything she craves to have; freedom, a chance to love, and much more. Because Olivia is not just the run off the mill human. She is a female werewolf in disguise; and considering that the wolves were under a curse that just about eliminated the female population, female wolves were very rare and treasured.  That means if ever her identity is revealed, she will be claimed by the nearest male wolf who could make her submit to him. Olivia has big dreams in life and her plans don’t include delivering a litter of pups for some domineering male wolf.  But what if her secret is revealed one night? What if her attempts to escape turns futile and she is claimed against her will? And that too by Alpha Tyson Gray, one of the most ruthless Alphas the world had ever seen and fears? Will Olivia escape the Alpha’s claim or will she be the one to finally tame him? Or is there more to their story than what meets the eye?
