A fiery young journalist meets a stranger who awakens a fire within her. She had no idea he is anything but average. Unbeknownst to her, Eric, the intriguing stranger, is not a human. He is a fierce and primitive werewolf, and their fates are inextricably linked. They enjoy a passionate moment as they are drawn together by an emotional bond. But what Margaret thinks is an accidental encounter takes a terrifying turn when she wakes up in a nightmare, abducted by the very being who sparked her yearning. Margaret is filled with rage and bitterness as she finds herself trapped in Eric's realm of shadows and teeth. With her independence taken away, she is forced to deal with her own conflicting feelings. She hates her mate, to whom she is hopelessly bonded by fate, yet to whom she shares an unbreakable relationship. Margaret's hatred is pushed against an unmistakable and primordial desire as the gap between their worlds grows. She is divided between the turmoil and the possibility of a love she never sought since the brutality of her confinement clashes with the mysterious desire she feels. But can true love grow under the chaos and violence of captivity? Margaret finds that there is more to Eric than meets the eye—a history tarnished by grief, and a heart wounded by its own battles—as secrets come to light and the layers of darkness are peeled back. Perhaps there is a chance for redemption or forgiveness beneath the primitive exterior.
