Description
The first entry in a new romance book series by Stay a Spell author Juliette Cross.
After yet another bar fight and arrest, bad boy Ronan Reed moves in with his uncle's Blood Moon pack in Louisiana and makes plans to lead his own team in the werewolf cage-fighting ring. But when he sets eyes on sweet Celine Cruz, his whole world stops and she becomes a tantalizing distraction he doesn't need. As an Aura witch, Celine always wants to help heal the broken. She's all too familiar with anxiety, so she's dedicated her life to helping those in need. But the second she meets Ronan, she's in trouble. He's everything her close-knit family would hate. So why can't she stay away? Ronan thinks she's a good girl. Little does he know, all Celine wants is to do wicked things with the bad boy werewolf, who revels in breaking all her rules. But as their forbidden romance becomes too tempting to resist, Ronan notices that the wolves are circling . . . and they're coming after his mate.
Perfect for fans of Stay a Spell and other werewolf romance books, this next-generation spinoff delivers a steamy Southern paranormal romance tale where fated mates must navigate a spicy forbidden attraction between a bad boy wolf and the healing witch who sees past his scars.
