Falling for the cute handyman renovating my kitchen probably isn't a good idea. He's human and I'm a werewolf. Not to mention, my parents have already picked out a new boyfriend for me. But those green eyes and strong arms are impossible to resist.

Just when I thought things were looking up, my entire life falls apart, thanks to some guy. Now I've sworn off men forever since I can't trust myself to pick the right one. And that's the moment I met him, the tall, dark, and handsome man with golden eyes. But I can't have him.My life is crumbling around my ears, and the last thing I need is to complicate it with a man in the picture.

Now if I could just get him to leave me alone...

PARKER

Begrudgingly I came home for the summer to blow off some steam after another failed relationship, intent on spending the summer alone to recover. But when a storm threatens a man out on the lighthouse pier, I run to save him. The moment my hand touches his skin, I hear a single word. Mate. But he's human, and I'm a werewolf. If I pursue him I'll be kicked out of the pack. And if I don't I'll be miserable for the rest of my life.

All I know is that I can't resist him. But can a werewolf and a human really find happiness together? I'm willing to sacrifice my place in the pack for him.

Maybe I'll just create my own pack so we can be together.
