The emerald-eyed Malcolm Cole is a cursed werewolf, an alpha in the most powerful sense who has given up hope for any kind of happiness or peace in his life.

Until he catches wind of Claire.

Claire St.James, who goes by Charlie among friends, is an amazing young woman with an incredibly special gift. Cole recognizes this at once and swears on the spot to claim Charlie as his mate.

Of course, he isn't the only one with such plans. Pretty, red-headed Charlie is too precious to let go of without a fight, and one of the most powerful alpha werewolves in the world has already staked a claim, whether Charlie - and Cole - like it or not.
