Those details are locked down tight inside the chaos of my mind, and I don't have the key.The only thing I do know—I'm dead.

A girl's got a rep to maintain, and after a close call a while back, I've had to step up my game. This ghost girl doesn't want to be exorcised anytime soon.Just when my unlife is getting increasingly dull, a team of hot paranormal researchers shows up to investigate the cause of all the unusual activity.

Ghost girls have needs too, ya know, and mine have gone unmet for way too long.Contains mature themes.

    Ally doesn't want to have anything to do with werewolves. Kade is a werewolf who wants to do everything to Ally. Just because Ally Rose can turn into a wolf doesn't mean that she's happy about her status as a shape-shifting, occasionally howling, never-butt-sniffing werewolf. As a result, she has only two rules in life: 1) avoid werewolf packs at all costs and 2) stay the hell away from the man who turned her against her will. Packs are evil...violent...deadly.... And the wolf who turned her is the worst of the worst.Just because Kade Blackwood is the Alpha's brother doesn't mean he can ignore a direct order — even when it's something as mundane as packing up an old woman's belongings and hauling them back to the pack house in Ashwood. But all of his good intentions fly out of the window the moment he steps foot in tiny Pepper, Georgia...and smells her. His mate. He wants her. Craves her. Aches for her. But first he has to find her...before the wolf hunting Ally gets his paws on her.Contains mature themes.
