Da hilft es auch wenig, dass ich ein tolles Rudel an meiner Seite habe, das mir mit meinem Welpen zu helfen versucht. Und einen Alpha, der leider mehr Geheimnisse birgt als das versunkene Atlantis. Ob es mir trotzdem gelingt, in meine neue Rolle zu finden?

Es ist soweit: Meine erste Vollmondnacht steht an – die Nacht, in der sich mein Schicksal für immer entscheidet.

As one of the top paid defense-men in the NHL, my life has been a revolving door of beautiful women and no-strings-attached sex. Until Brynne. It was only supposed to be a one-night-fling.

As CEO Calla Black by day and the masked dominatrix known only as The Black Dahlia by night, I built a life that kept everyone at a distance. Control kept me safe. Rules kept me steady.
