Nadia George has spent her college years trying to remain invisible, working part-time in the university's athletic department. Born into a lean, aggressive wolf pack that viewed her soft, plus-sized body as a failure, she stays quiet while her secret fated mate, Ethan Cole, climbs the ranks of the rival Red Fang hockey pack. The campus runs on a hidden duality: ordinary human students believe the hockey teams are just arrogant sports stars, completely unaware that the ice rink sits on a supernatural convergence zone. Deep within the shadows, an ancient bloodline curse called the Madness lies waiting, requiring an act of pure, malicious betrayal to break its seal. After the betrayal, the curse breaks loose. The two packs lose their senses, acting mad with dark eyes and feral growl. Nadia out of fear, screams, and a shocking wave explodes from her body calming all the wolves. She can't explain how she did that. But Ethan suddenly wants her back.
