Alyssa Ryan is a werewolf alpha princess. She has a secret that could destroy her if her pack learns the truth. As a young girl, her childhood friend Marcus was her protector and bodyguard. Now they are adults and Marcus has fought for the right to claim her. However, the vampire wars take him, and Alyssa runs hiding from the pack.

Marcus is the Omega werewolf. He fought for Alyssa, making her his mate. Now he is the Alpha of his pack and his word is law. With his military training, he creates a team of werewolf warriors who must fight the vampires. However, it takes six years before he can return home to find out Alyssa ran away the minute his back was turned.

Alyssa, the alpha princess, discovers information about her true heritage and fights against taking a mate. Marcus, her childhood best friend, fights the other weres to claim her as his. Alyssa runs, knowing the pack will destroy her if they learn about her secret. She is unaware that Marcus knows about her secret and accepted her anyway. Determined to get her home, he devises a plan to trick her into returning. When he learns that Alyssa truly wants him, Marcus knows his plan will work. He uses the loyalty of his warrior brethren to keep Alyssa safe within the pack.

Ms. Valentine has taken this werewolf story and created an unusual and twisted plot. The sexual heat between Marcus and Alyssa will burn a hole right through the pages of this book. When you read about the were-bonding orgy Alyssa and Marcus participate in, your mind will be blown away; it is so hot. I commend this author on her wonderful imagination and plan to read any further stories that she might produce.
