Orphaned at a young age, Hazel's beloved Aunt Claire is the only parent she knows. Never mind her thoughts on her aunt's terrible taste in men, until Aunt Claire marries Rob, an abusive creep who financially traps the two of them and begins looking at Hazel in a way that makes her skin crawl. But when Hazel falls mysteriously ill and her best friend Molly is attacked by a wild animal, she finds she has bigger issues to worry about than avoiding Rob's notice.
Stranger yet, are the two young men who suddenly insert themselves into Hazel's life during the onslaught of her illness; half-feral Caden and a long-lost childhood friend named David.
In a blink, Hazel's life turns upside down. She has always been content with not standing out. Now she has to cope with becoming a part of an underground society of Shifters. Pursued, terrified, and desperate, Hazel must discover her place in this new world of packs, alphas, love, and revenge while fighting to protect everything and everyone she loves.
