I've been captured, abused, violated, and changed into a werewolf by a power-hungry man who didn't care whether I would be destroyed in the process. But I escaped; now I am no longer that weak girl who took the pain and accepted it. I am no longer a victim. Instead, I am stronger, wiser, and a fighter, but most importantly, I am a survivor. When 22-year-old Daisy Andrews left her family in Cornwall to start University in Wales, all she wanted to do was escape the ghosts of her past and work towards her future. She dreams of one day graduating with a degree in Law and being able to help those who have been abused and victimised the same way as she has been. Daisy wants to give those a voice when they are too scared to use their own. She didn't plan to meet a gorgeous wolf, who makes her feel things she thought she would never feel again. If only he wasn't her lecturer and the one thing she hates the most about herself. 28-year-old Michael Adams has dedicated his life to teaching at his old university, his pack, and leading his team of Pack Protectors. His team's primary goal is to keep their pack and other wolves in their territory safe from any threat. When the alpha asks Michael's to transfer to a local university, he has no choice but to agree. Michael has his life mapped out, and there's no space for anything but his pack and team. That's until he sees a rogue sitting on a bench in the university grounds; Instantly recognising this is no regular rogue, Michael longs to see her again. But when he finds the rogue sitting in his classroom, he realises things will not be straightforward if he decides to act on his feelings. Daisy and Michael need to decide whether they accept their growing feelings for each other, risking their jobs and degrees. Or do they ignore everything in the hope that their feelings will go away? How hard can it be to ignore the primal need to be together, to claim what is theirs? But when history starts to repeat itself and Daisy once again finds herself a target, can Michael stand by and watch the woman he cares for being put in harm's way? Can he show her just how strong she can be if she only accepts what she has become?

Daisy loves her new life. She's surrounded by amazing friends, a werewolf pack she’s proud to be a member of, but most importantly, she has a loving mate who makes her the happiest she's been in three years since her life was turned upside down. Michael, The Protector, has a reputation he has spent years building. Every pack wolf and rogue knows to fear him. But when his mate is in danger, he becomes Her Protector. He’s already lost his twin sister; when she was murdered four years ago, he won't lose his mate too. Michael and his team are willing to put their lives on the line to protect their newest family member. But with the added pressure comes internal conflict. The team is being pushed to their limits, and soon, someone or something will snap. Just when things can’t get any worse, Michael and Daisy’s world is torn apart, and Michael realises nothing is as important as protecting her, including his own life.
