Adrianna has always felt at one with nature. From the time she was a child she's been drawn to the majestic pack of wolves that have laid claim on the land around her modest house. On her 19th birthday, she meets a dark and mysterious man, who goes by the name of Ian Boyce that she finds eerily familiar to her, but she can't figure out why. And for the first time in her life she feels a desire so deep and feral that she's powerless to fight it.

Adrianna Boyce has come to accept the love of her life, Ian Groves, is a wolf shapeshifter and is willing to follow the rules and customs that the pack require to be with him - including a ritual that they call "the Claiming." But not everyone is pleased with the young lovers' union. In addition, the process of "the Claiming" will make her discover things about herself she never realized and put her and Ian's love to the test.

Kevin Pace is working on a painting that he won't allow anyone to see: not his children, not his best friend, Richard, not even his wife, Linda. The painting is a canvas of 12 feet by 21 feet (and three inches) that is covered entirely in shades of blue. It may be his masterpiece or it may not; he doesn't know or, more accurately, doesn't care. What Kevin does care about are the events of the past.

Comfort soon turns into a passionate kiss—and scandal when they are caught in an embrace.

Mark Oliver Everett's upbringing was 'ridiculous, sometimes tragic and always unsteady'. His father - a quantum mechanic who worked for the Pentagon - was a genius who had corresponded with Einstein aged 13. He rarely spoke, and following his own miserable childhood had eccentric ideas of how children should be brought up. Raised in a house with no rules, with parents who had 'a kind of seventies swinging marriage', Everett had to raise himself, not always with the greatest success. His love of music helped pull him through, and by his early 20s he was on the brink of stardom with his first album - Beautiful Freak.

In the summer of 1937, a California crime stunned an already grim nation. Three little girls were lured away from a neighborhood park to unthinkable deaths.
