About this book
Evie just wanted a fresh start at FMU, a chance to escape her past and blend into the background. Instead, she finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a dangerous new reality. Her quiet existence is shattered when she discovers that the charming freshman she befriended is hiding a sinister agenda, forcing her into a world of dark magic and hidden threats.
Enter Zane Blackwood, the university’s star quarterback and an alpha hero with secrets that run deeper than his legendary campus status. He is powerful, possessive, and undeniably drawn to a girl he was born to protect. As the lines between enemies and allies blur, Evie realizes that Zane is not just a man, but something far more primal.
This gripping paranormal romance masterfully blends the high-stakes intensity of college sports with the thrill of shifter lore. If you crave a dark, edge-of-your-seat academy romance featuring the enemies-to-lovers trope and a fated bond that defies explanation, this series opener is your next obsession. Dive into the world of the Wolves of FMU, where the game is intense, the stakes are life-or-death, and the alpha always gets his mate. Your next addictive read awaits.

Oh man.. I read this on my kindle for such a long stretch that I triggered my vertigo. THAT is how much I loved it. It is late and I am tired so let's go through this review together, shall we?

I loved the university setting and how the characters felt...

I loved this book! I cried and I laughed! I read this book in 2 days because I couldn't put it down. I really want to read book 2 but it only comes in a kindle format that i do not have nor want to have. That part I am disappointed about/ )

Loved this first book of her new series and can’t wait for the next one! I loved how protective Zane was and how he worked so hard to prove she could trust him. Really enjoyed the camaraderie the guys had and am excited to read their stories too! )
