The Smoky Hills Academy

Mom and I just needed a place to start over. Somewhere to move on from the past that haunts us. Smoky Hills, Tennessee seemed to be exactly what we needed. Here, I could be invisible. That is, until quarterback Liam Bronson decides I’m important. Even though there are plenty of girls who would love his attention, he doesn’t seem to care. The way he stares at me is like I’m the only one that matters, even in a room full of people.  

Mom and I just needed a place to start over. Somewhere to move on from the past that haunts us. Smoky Hills, Tennessee, seemed to be exactly what we needed. Here, I could be invisible. That is, until quarterback Liam Bronson decides I’m important. Even though there are plenty of girls who would love his attention, he doesn’t seem to care. The way he stares at me is like I’m the only one that matters, even in a room full of people. Like he chose me. Then I discover his secret. The animal that lives inside of him. He tells me to leave. That it’s not safe for a human.

I'm determined to prove to Liam that we aren't over. I need him to understand that I can handle the part of him that he revealed to me. I'm not weak. But it doesn't seem to matter. Not to Liam. So, I'm trying to move on. Christopher, my home economics partner, seems like a good distraction. He's sweet and kind and interested in me. But everywhere I go, Liam seems to be there. I'm trying to forget the one guy who stole my heart, but that seems easier said than done.

My brother is gone. Vanished. Disappeared. Which is not like him at all. Not when he promised to never leave me alone in Smoky Hills. Even though I pretend I’m strong, I know I’m not. Not without Grayson. If only I could find him and bring him back, my chaotic life would finally return to normal. Before I can even create a plan, another shifter from the woods shows up, making Smoky Hills his home. Matthew Young, the new wide receiver. He's dark. He's brooding. And he has all other shifters on edge. As if there's a reason he's here that he's not telling us....

Tensions escalate in Smoky Hills as the warring pack battles to see who the new alpha will be. Friends are pitted against each other and humans' lives are at risk.
