About this book
Astrid Jonasson is a self-proclaimed hot mess, a woman who has spent her life distancing herself from the rigid expectations of her New York Lycan clan. Working security at a gentlemen’s club, she is a world away from the polished, powerful elite she was born into. But when a series of dangerous events drags her back into the heart of the pack, she is forced to confront the one man she has spent years trying to forget: Zac Vrost.
Zac is the quintessential alpha-hero, a rule-follower destined for greatness as the clan’s future second-in-command. While he and Astrid occupy different orbits, their chemistry is undeniable. As a grumpy-sunshine dynamic ignites between them, Zac realizes that his ambition pales in comparison to the pull of his fated mate. He is willing to risk his career to claim her, even if she is the last person the clan expects him to choose.
This slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers tale is a masterclass in forbidden romance. Blending gritty urban fantasy with hidden magic, Alicia Montgomery crafts a world where love is a liability. As old adversaries emerge to threaten their pack, Astrid and Zac must decide if their connection is worth the ultimate price in this intense, high-stakes shifter saga.

Astrid is a mix lycan and magic. Her job is to help dress the strippers lol no she is their security guard at the Vixen den. It's a gentleman 's club in New york. One night when she was protecting the girl her wolf id came out so she had to call the lycan head council for help. Zac vrost is the son of the new York's clan beta and their human liaison. Sort of clan royalty. When he takes one look at Astrid all grown up he and his wolf goes nuts. There is a lot of danger in this one,...

It was a great start to the beginning of all the kids stories. I was glad that we got the story of Zac and Astrid first. I was shocked by some of the things that we learned some of the kids were doing and how some of them drifted apart. I am excited to get some of these stories and others not so much. ) One person found this helpful

I loved Zac and Astrid’s story. They had a connection from the first moment they touched. She had a crush on him since she was a young teen. She thought he was out of her league. In reality she had just been too young the few times he had seen her before. Now was their time and they came together with a bang and a sizzle. This was a great beginning to a new series about the next generation. I will definitely read more books by this author. )
