After the lightning attack on Iceen triggered my latent Skarrian abilities, they’ve kicked into gear big time. Not only am I a lightning cat whisperer, but I’m also a mimic.

I ain’t no buckle bunny. Sugar, I’m the one looking for a buckle bronco. Welcome to Darling, where the cowboys are hotter than blazes and one-night stands have a way of catching up to you. I’m JJ Wilde, Queen of the Rodeo. Or at least I was, once upon a time. Then life happened. In a crowded bar, drunkenly rushing into heat, I saw him—tall, dark, and Alpha. One night—that’s all I asked for. Now, here I am, four years later, a single mom, being courted by a wealthy older pack, putting in the work to make it back to the top, and somehow still pinin’ for the one that got away.

I wanted to do everything right. Instead, I broke the law. I’m supposed to be the perfect omega—Omega of the Year, polished and prepared, bonded before graduation. But I was left with no match and no pack. I didn’t mean to trespass on private property. Or fall in their pool. Or get caught by the most famous unbonded alphas in the world, N’Pact. Now I’m hiding with four alphas I was never supposed to meet: Alvaro, the gruff leader barely holding it together.

The question is, are their motives pure, or will I be on the receiving end of a Ruthless Rejection?

I’ve been content with it just being us for a while, but it's my last year of high school, and I’ve missed out on so much. Parties, girlfriends, and dating. If I can’t have them in the way my heart wants, I may as well start having fun, right?

Wrong, because they don’t seem to like my new life choices.

I live with a pack of misfit shifters. We aren't going to be winning any popularity contests, but our hodgepodge bunch is more loyal than even the strongest pred packs. I should know. I grew up in one of them. As soon as they realized I was different, I was despised, even by my own family. So I left, joined Pack Aberrant, and I've steered clear of alpha pred assholes ever since. Until my heatwave hits, and I accidentally jump three coyote shifters in a parking lot. Whoopsie.

Maple Hollow is known for its endless October charm, gossiping ghosts, and pumpkin spice everything. Not the sort of town you’d imagine a designer suit-wearing demon to call home. But when Ramona Henry’s souls start to go missing, she sets out to find the thief, and that means reluctantly calling in the help of a certain apothecary witch who bears her mark. Iris Stonewood is more than Maple Hollow’s most flirtatious witch—she’s also a thrill-seeking thorn in Ramona’s side.

My intentions weren't just to bartend, but to gather intel on the lone wolf who owns the place. Instead, I found myself in much deeper with the wolves of Crescent Valley than I'd ever imagined. They're working with dangerous humans who know about our secret world, and it could put all shifters at risk.

I've lived my life in a bubble, but that bubble is about to burst.

Life had always been about right and wrong. No gray area. No exceptions. But my time with the bastard sons of the Institution were slowly changing my mind–forcing me to see that sometimes the only options available to someone were bad and worse. Their justice was different than mine and I struggled with it. Except now, they were gone. Every day I’d fought to leave them, to go home. But… I wanted them back. What did that say about me?

I expected to die as soon as I stepped foot into the Ivy Institute, but dying would have been too easy. Nothing at The Ivy is quite what it seems.
