Sometimes what you don't want is exactly what you need.

Zeke Daniels has it all... Alpha of the Stone Forge shifters and owner of The Guardian-bistro by day, exclusive club by night. Nestled in the heart of New Orleans' French Quarter, The Guardian is a safe haven for the supernatural community where few humans are allowed entrance. Zeke cares little for humans but knows he has to tolerate a few to maintain his business. When Chloe Winters' brother leaves their home with only a note rattling on about a frat house party and getting bitten by a werewolf, she's bound and determined to get to the truth of the matter. Blake isn't crazy, though the note would have her believe otherwise. Entering an unbelievable world, Chloe begins the search for her brother.

Meeting Zeke Daniels is an obstacle Chloe could've done without. Every time she crosses his path, something goes wrong, and he makes it clear she's nothing but a nuisance. Content to avoid him, fate begs to differ, throwing them together at every possible turn. Her attraction to the sexy, surly Alpha doesn't help matters either.

As Chloe is drawn deeper into a dark and dangerous world, she realizes Zeke is her only hope to find her brother and make it out alive. Torn by conflicting emotions, the couple must learn to work together and deal with their emerging feelings for each other as they face an enemy who threatens to expose the entire supernatural world.
