“Lana Danley has always yearned for more than the mundane life of Rosecliff, a sleepy small town where nothing ever seems to change. As a high school senior, she dreams of graduating and escaping to the big city, leaving behind the monotony of her routine. But one fateful night changes everything. During her late-night shift as a part-time forest ranger, Lana stumbles upon an enormous, injured wolf deep in the woods. Driven by compassion, she brings the creature home to tend to its wounds, only to discover something shocking hours later-a naked River Attwood, her enigmatic and aloof classmate, glaring at her with eyes full of fury and secrets. What begins as a moment of compassion soon plunges Lana into a world she never imagined. The quiet town of Rosecliff hides dark secrets, where the forest whispers of ancient powers and creatures of the night reign supreme. As Lana becomes entangled in the dangerous, mysterious lives of the werewolves who rule the woods, she realizes that her life will never be the same. Will she rise above the challenges of this supernatural world, or will its secrets consume her?”
