In one week's time a life can be inconceivably altered. That's what happened to Kat Tanner after a date with a tall, dark, and handsome man ends up in her being bitten by a werewolf. Disbelief turns into terror as her body transforms into that of a beast under the light of the full moon. Reese Svenson, her childhood best friend, comes from a long line of werewolf hunters and now she has become his prey though he has no idea she's the wolf he's tracking. The only one Kat can trust is a stranger named Terrence that appears in the midst of the forest just in the nick of time to save her from the wolf that originally bit her and the werewolf hunters. Family loyalty and past wrongs come back to haunt both Reese and Terrence while Kat finds herself in the middle of a centuries-old struggle of morality and prejudice.
