Jacque Pierce is an ordinary seventeen-year-old from Coldspring, Texas, living a perfectly normal life—until a mysterious Romanian exchange student named Fane moves in across the street. She and her best friends, Sally and Jen, have no idea that the last two weeks of their summer vacation will be full of surprises. Jacque feels an irresistible attraction to Fane since their first encounter. What she doesn't know is that Fane is a werewolf and she is his mate and soulmate. Unfortunately, Fane isn't the only wolf in Coldspring: just as Fane and Jacque start to get to know each other better, another wolf enters the scene and claims Jacque as his chosen one. Fane now has to fight for the right to perform the bonding ritual, which is his birthright but is being challenged by a crazed alpha.
