Sierra prefers to avoid the Pine Barrens-the folklore and myths always left her uneasy. Which only grows worse when she runs into a man, and her first instinct is to help. The stranger tests her patience before disappearing and she can't shake the instant, shocking attraction. One chance meeting deep in the woods and Dylan is lost. The woman with red hair and blue eyes tempts his most primal nature to claim something he's never wanted. As a male of his pack, destined to die on his thirty-fifth birthday, he does not want to claim anyone. Not unless they can find an answer to a fifty year old curse. Sierra learns things aren't always as they seem. Her brother and his best friend Dylan are werewolves with limited time and they believe she may be the key to breaking the curse. Dylan will do everything he can to convince her werewolves aren't simply a nightmare lurking in the pines. They need her help to break the curse and save their pack. But first, she has to accept a birthright she doesn't believe in...
