TrueBorn

MaxEllen Channing is the type of woman that has a short fuse and mean right hook. At age 84, Max was given the chance at a new life and was Made into a werewolf. Her maker, George, never expected her to live, nor did he expect her to be so powerful. After her first shift, she looks like she did in her twenties: an olive-skinned beauty with midnight hair. The new life Max is eager to begin is tainted when George explains that human women are being abducted for showing signs of dominance and strength, traits that Max clearly exhibits. A local werewolf pack is responsible, and their goal is to impregnate these women to fulfill the TrueBorn Prophecy. These women are raped, repeatedly. Some are killed. Some have been held for years. None have ever been released. Going against every instinct Max has, she must pretend to be submissive in order to survive. After twenty years of pretending, Max finds out that a friend has been taken, and she can no longer ignore the guilt that consumes her. Max begins to take steps to form a rescue mission, for both her friend and the abducted women. Blake McGregor isn't the type to trust easily. In fact, he doesn't trust anyone, but there is something about MaxEllen Channing that has all his instincts flaring --and he doesn't like it. If he could have it his way, he would walk away from Max as fast as he could. But the same instincts that tell him to be wary, won't let him walk away. Max doesn't want to trust Blake. She doesn't want to trust anyone, or risk anymore lives. But as the lives of the women become more endangered, Max must learn to trust Blake and risk her heart in the process. Max has to put her pride, and her heart, aside if she wants to save the women.
