Savage Autumn (shelved)
If you can keep a secret once a month, we can be together forever.
Even a smart seventeen-year-old like Phoebe Bruns can make a life-changing mistake. With her own business to run and her own bills to pay, she is ready to graduate high school, go to college, and move out of her parents’ house…not necessarily in that order.
When she meets Jeremy, she knows he is different. Five years older than Phoebe, he isn’t like the squirrelly high school boys in her northern California mountain town. He’s confident and mature, and he isn’t afraid to demonstrate his love in strange ways. The only problem: he’s a werewolf, and he needs to choose a werewolf mate.
Despite her misgivings, Phoebe is willing to do anything to keep their true love intact. But that’s before she realizes she’s been brutally deceived by Jeremy and his pack. Now, ostracized by her old friends and appalled by the savage order of the pack which claims her for its own, all she wants is the impossible: to get her life back, to be normal again. And in the midst of this turmoil, Phoebe watches as Jeremy hunts his next victim, following a terrible, twisted pattern that can only result in death.
