For the Black Cove pack fighting is a way of life, kill or be killed. When it comes to she-wolves, they are absolutely worth fighting and dying for especially since they are so rare. What would it take for you to find the love of your life? To what lengths would you be willing to go? At a time when females have gone into hiding, when many are too terrified to be discovered, many have lost touch with their other half. Many don't even remember or realize they are wolves. But one pack is willing to risk it all to ensure the survival of their species. Black Cove does not operate as a normal pack, they make their own rules. As former rogues, they forge their own path, at all costs. This is their story of the fight for survival, and their undying drive to find their true loves, their true fated mates. Excerpt: “Werewolves,” I said, in a whisper. No, they don’t exist!! They can’t! My mind raced to some of the books I’d read, movies I’d seen. All the things that go bump in the night your parents warn you about. But come on, werewolves??

I’m the devil in your hell, and you... you’re the angel in my chaos. But in your gaze, I see the beginning of my end.” Fury coursed through me, mixing with a raw, undeniable fear. “I will destroy you!” I screamed, my voice crashing against the walls, each word a vow of vengeance. A twisted smile curved his lips, dark and dangerous. “Before you burn me to the ground,” he breathed, his warmth sending shivers down my spine, “let me show you just how deeply pleasure and pain can intertwine.” ~~~~~ Brinda Virginia’s life has always been a battle — against fate, against time, against a heart that beats too weakly to keep up with her fire.

But surrender is never simple in a game of power, revenge, and dangerous desire. Because this man doesn’t just want to own her — he wants to unmake her, unravel her, turn her fire to ash. And the most terrifying part? Find out!
