Torn between a life she never wanted and a family she barely remembers, Ivy must navigate secrets, power, and her own demons. Will she finally find belonging or will the shadows of her past consume her?

Meet Dealia Frost, or "Ice" as her only friend calls her. She's a self-proclaimed badass with a short fuse and a zero-tolerance policy for authority. Kicking ass, riding bikes, and a deep-seated suspicion of puppets are just the tip of the iceberg. When a teacher crosses the line, Ice reminds everyone why she earned her nickname. But expulsion and a run-in with the law are just the start of Ice's unpredictable journey. Prepare for a wild ride where street smarts meet supernatural powers, and the only rule is: don't tell Ice what to do.

My soul is tethered to those I've lost. They are the reason it hurts so much to separate. Two months ago, a car crash stole my parents and best friends on my eighteenth birthday. Now, living alone in a grand Washington mansion, grief is a constant companion. My brother in London tries to help, but how can I escape the memories when they're everywhere? My world is a canvas of pain, masked by defiance and solitude. But a promise to my brother and an unexpected encounter with the school's 'badass' might just force me to confront the darkness and find 'The Reason' to live again.

I'm Lori Adams, a rogue werewolf who's lived for two years in Roseville, a town ruled by Alpha Seth's pack. I'm a certified badass, love causing mischief, and hate the idea of being tied down. My life was simple: pranks, school, and hanging out with my best friend Ariella. Until I found out the alpha of the town, Seth - who I openly dislike and annoy - is my mate. Now, avoiding him is a full-time job. But fate, or maybe just bad luck, seems determined to throw us together, forcing me to confront the one thing I've been running from: being the Alpha's mate.
