Josette is seventeen, an only child and a little bit of a loner. Okay, maybe a lot of a loner. But she wouldn't have it any other way. Raised by her single mother and grandmother her entire life she relates more to "the originals" in her neighborhood. That's until Max Anderson shows up.

Tall...check, dark...check, handsome...um duh, check. With perfect skin, perfect teeth and a more than perfect body. He smells like nature at its best; fresh cut grass, honeysuckle and summer rain. He's also wild about Josette.

An attack on Josette set the wheels turning for an adventure right out of the pages of the books Josette is always reading and love that every fairy-tale will rival.
