17 year-old Tara Godfrey thought she was had life figured out. That her impending breakup with her football-player boyfriend was the worst of her problems. But when she shortcuts on her way home through a dark alley, all of her very high school, very human problems take a backseat when she’s attacked by a wolf—and manages to put it down. And if that’s not enough to send her over the edge, the wolf shifts post-mortem into the body of a naked girl. Panicked and terrified, Tara whirls—and comes face to face with the hottest, most mysterious, most dangerous guy she’s ever seen. And he’s not here to be friends…

What to read next…

Number ten is plastered on his team jersey and on his ego. In his own mind, Crown Sterling is the shit. He dates the prettiest women, he dominates on the soccer field, he pours money out of his pockets like it’s water. Until a debilitating knee injury puts him out of commission on and off the field. He’s sent to an isolated town in Louisiana to recoup, undergo physical therapy and heal. But it’s when you’re down that you find out who your real friends are, and what they value in you, if anything at all. 
All Lyra wants out of life is peace and quiet. She grew up with a regular, everyday family. When she turned sixteen, rummaging through her grandmother’s hope chest in the attic, she discovered a secret that would turn her simple, normal life into a ball of chaos that revolved around her. But while she seems to face her fears head on in her career, she lives a life that’s secure and well hidden. 
A new neighbor moved in next door and he’s decided that everyone needs to listen to his rap music, shattering Lyra’s quiet existence. Enraged, she stomps to the next townhouse over and who should open the door but a man whose good looks and charming smile knock her breathless. 
How good looking? Just ask him. 
How charming? He’ll tell you that too. 
The king must be dethroned. 
And a small town girl who’s been through hell is just the one to do it.

Acknowledgements

My thanks and love first to Dylan. Following your dream is admirable. Pushing me to always chase mine makes you irreplaceable. Thank you for always believing in me. And for being a constant reminder that a great life is about pursuing your passions, sharing your gifts, and finding the right people to love. I’m so grateful to have gotten all of those things when I married you. Also, for doing the dishes shirtless—don’t stop doing that. What an adventure this is.

Thank you to my three girls—you know who you are. Strength. Courage. Sisters. We are the 4 corners. I am so grateful for our bond and look forward to our mastermind calls even when the only thing we mastermind is where to order peel and stick bras. You chicks are the best friends a girl could ask for!

Big thanks to my street team, Heather’s Hotshots, for being on top of reviews and bugging me when I’m too long inside my writing cave.

And to my readers, who … well, read. You guys are the cat’s pajamas. Without you, I couldn’t do what I love every single day. Besides that, without readers, I might have to wear real pants into the real world every day. Shudder! Thank you all for being awesome!
