Emma, a 17 - year - old with a head full of fiery red hair and a spirit to match, has just been uprooted from the sunny shores of Florida and thrust into a dilapidated two - bedroom bungalow in a British county. Left to fend for herself in a house that looks more like an abandoned drug den, she's at her wit's end. The kitchen cupboards are crawling with cockroaches, the sink is stained with a hideous mix of brown and black, and the whole place is covered in a thick layer of dust.
To make matters worse, her father has cut off her financial support and seized her phone, leaving her with no means to call for help or reach out to her friends. She's completely alone in a foreign place, with no idea how she's going to clean up the mess or even survive until her father's promised visit in three months.
But just when things seem hopeless, a group of handsome guys from the Peipei Cleaning Company shows up. At the front of the pack is Derek, a tall, tanned hunk with deep blue eyes and his hair tied back in a ponytail. At first glance, Emma's heart flutters; she's always had a weakness for tall, dark - haired guys. But Derek's initial words are like a slap in the face. He scorns her claim of being the owner of the house, suggesting she's either a mistress or a maid.
Emma, not one to back down from a fight, snaps. She grabs the phone from Derek and smashes it, unleashing her pent - up frustration. A scuffle ensues, and in a surprising turn of events, Emma, with her unknown martial arts skills, manages to trip Derek. This only fuels Derek's anger, but there's something more beneath the surface. His wolf, Maru, recognizes Emma as his mate, a revelation that Derek is determined to deny. After all, he's set to become the alpha, and a human mate could be a liability, especially with the upcoming battles against the White Wind pack.
Meanwhile, Clem, another member of the cleaning crew, is also drawn to Emma. He's sweet and charming, and Emma feels a sense of comfort around him. But whenever Derek is near, her heart races in a different way. She can't deny the intense chemistry between them, even though he's been nothing but a jerk to her.
As the cleaning progresses, tensions rise. Derek can't keep his eyes off Emma, and his jealousy flares when he sees Clem getting close to her. Emma, on the other hand, is conflicted. She's annoyed by Derek's attitude but also intrigued by his mysterious nature. The more she tries to push him away, the more drawn she feels to him.
During a stroll around the neighborhood, Emma's thoughts are a whirlwind. She reflects on her past mistakes, like the time she got into trouble for pouring paint on some rude bachelors in Florida and the disastrous babysitting job that almost cost a child's life. These memories weigh heavily on her, making her feel even more lost in this new place.
Then, she encounters a beautiful woman who questions her presence. This encounter adds another layer of mystery to the story. Is this woman just a nosy neighbor, or does she have some hidden connection to the secrets of this town?
In this small British county, filled with werewolves and secrets, Emma's life is about to change forever. Will she be able to navigate the chaos of her new living situation, deal with the unexpected feelings for Derek, and uncover the mysteries that seem to surround her? Or will she be consumed by the danger and drama that comes with being in a place where she doesn't belong?
the is a thrilling tale of love, mystery, and self - discovery. Follow Emma as she embarks on a journey that will test her limits, challenge her beliefs, and lead her to a destiny she never could have imagined.
