United for the sake of peace, divided for the sake of peace. Humans and werewolves do not share cities, let alone hearts.Samantha BindsA moderately successful interior designer from Green Bay, Succor City, Alabama, Samantha believes she lacks focus in life, and has recently began wondering if she had been searching for it in the wrong places, most notably in her less than satisfying relationships with men who seem to take more than they give.

Before he could be brought before the Council of Ethics for a trial and possibly a death sentence, he escapes. Now an outcast from his community, Kane must live in the human world masquerading as a human. It seems he's been found... but he'll go down fighting...More than his werewolf primal instincts are awakened by the human woman who interrupts the fight he would rather forget, for at the back of his mind he knows; if she had not appeared when she did, he would be dead. He knows the centuries old peace rules. He disregards th
