Bitten

Elena Michaels is the only female werewolf in existence, a result of a bite from her former lover, Clayton Danvers. Living in Toronto, she attempts to suppress her predatory nature by working as a journalist and sustaining a relationship with a human architect. Her efforts to remain civilized collapse when the Pack alpha, Jeremy Danvers, summons her back to Stonehaven, their ancestral estate in upstate New York. A group of mutts—undisciplined werewolves who live outside the law—is killing humans and threatening the secret survival of the species. Elena must rejoin her pack to track and eliminate these rogues, confronting the brutal violence of her biology and her unresolved history with Clayton.

This book is for readers of supernatural fiction who prefer biology and hierarchy over romanticized myths. It appeals to those interested in the psychological friction between human morality and animal instinct. Readers walk away with a specific framework for werewolf physiology, including the physical mechanics of the transformation and the rigid social codes used to manage a predatory pack. It provides a grounded perspective on urban fantasy where horror stems from the necessity of violence and the difficulty of balancing domestic life with a lethal identity.
