Unfortunately, that plan dies the moment Zayden Cole — West Ridge High’s golden boy, basketball captain, and certified academic disaster — is forced into tutoring sessions with her.

„Caroline wurde von ihrem Partner, mit dem sie vier Jahre lang zusammen war, zurückgewiesen, weil sie geruchlos war – ein Makel, den kein Werwolf akzeptieren konnte. Ihr Partner machte stattdessen ihrer Cousine einen Heiratsantrag. In dieser Nacht, mit gebrochenem Herzen und gedemütigt, ließ sie sich von ihrer besten Freundin zu einem Maskenball schleppen. Sie gab sich einem maskierten Alpha hin, der geheimnisvoll und umwerfend gut aussah. Sie nannten einander nicht ihre Namen. Nur eine wilde Nacht voller leidenschaftlicher Küsse und rauer Berührungen. Er drückte sie gegen die Wand, sein kräftiger Körper presste sich an ihren, während sie unter seinem gierigen Mund stöhnte. Was sie für eine süße Affäre auf eine Nacht gehalten hatte, führte zu einer unerwarteten Schwangerschaft. Drei Jahre später hat Caroline ihr Leben in einem neuen Rudel neu aufgebaut, ihre Vergangenheit verborgen und ihren Sohn großgezogen. Doch ihr neuer Chef, Alpha Draven, ist rücksichtslos, kontrollsüchtig und gefährlich attraktiv … Vor allem diese violetten Augen – dieselben, die sie jeden Tag in den Augen ihres Sohnes sieht. Alpha Draven quält sie bei der Arbeit, doch sie trotzt ihm bei jeder Gelegenheit. Er weiß nicht, dass sie die Frau ist, nach der er seit jener schicksalhaften Nacht gesucht hat. Während er noch immer auf der Suche nach seiner wahren Gefährtin ist, ahnt er nicht, dass sie bereits in seinem Büro sitzt … und seinen Erben großzieht.“
