– Taking Quinn’s kids

When Quinn launches her campaign to retrieve her kids, the Federation will realize taking children from their mother is the biggest mistake of all.

A dangerous game of memory and magic.

Every morning, I wake up with no knowledge of who I am, except for a few strange quirks: I prefer old-fashioned dresses that button to my chin. I can shift into the form of a fox at will. And a werewolf who’s equal parts magnetic and terrifying keeps following me around.

Then the human co-worker who helps me gloss over my amnesia goes missing just as a werewolf power struggle erupts around us. To rescue Rosa and protect myself, I must team up with the very alpha whose existence represents my greatest fears and desires.

But my erratic memory offers hints that my past may unlock the secrets that threaten all of us. Can I piece together the truth before dawn steals away my one chance at saving Rosa’s life and discovering who I really am?

From USA Today bestselling author Aimee Easterling comes the first book in a thrilling new series filled with magic, danger, and romance.

“Karma takes too long. I’d rather beat the shit out of you right now.”

With a dagger in her boot and blades in her bra, Briar, a powerful shifter, arrives in Rouen with one goal: find and kill Dominic, the man responsible for the destruction of her entire family and wolf pack. When she discovers he is an Alpha surrounded by muscle-ripped shifters and equally as strong witches, she knows the only way she will get close enough to kill him is if she joins his dangerous and shady pack.

But infiltrating them proves more challenging than she expects, especially when her new roommates turn out to be supernaturals with their own powers and secrets. She can’t tell if the centuries-old, nosey vampire and fashion-sensitive witch are working with her or against her.

Whether they are friends or enemies doesn’t change things. Briar has a job to do. And she is willing to do whatever it takes to quench her thirst for revenge, even if it means destroying her own soul.
