Defiant

From USA Today Bestselling Author, Ann Denton, comes a dark romance about the battle of wills between a dominant pack leader and a woman whose compliant wolf undermines every dream she's ever had.

In shifter life, what's more important? Your human mind? Or your wolf's?

Elena

When my wolf appears for the first time, I'm so overjoyed that I don't think, I just run into the forest...and smack into Black Maddox, the leader of my pack. Only...he doesn't believe that I'm what I say I am. He insists that I'm part of a rival pack and locks me up in his basement.
Black's twice my age, insanely powerful, and has a streak of darkness running through him a mile wide and an ocean deep.
He's exactly the type of man that I always swore I'd stay far away from. I should stick with Jonah, the beta I know and trust, the man who'll give me everything I ask for.
But what if there are things I didn't know I ever wanted before? Things I don't know how to ask for?
The shadow Black casts drenches me, his depravity soaking into my skin.
He's going to destroy me if I don't escape him.

Black

I discover pretty little Elena helpless in disputed territory.
At first, I want to crack her open, this wide-eyed temptation who derails me. I want to shatter her and those who sent her into tiny pieces. I will not be manipulated or deceived by her false innocence.
That's what I tell myself. But even as I say it aloud, my obsession grows and the spell she weaves leaves my wolf and I both panting.
But once I realize Elena's a special type of shifter, the rarest of the rare, and the most precious of them all... I don't want to crush her. I want to chain and keep her. I want to make her beg for mercy, but not because she's broken.
Because she's mine.
I want her desperate and aching for me in ways she's never been before.
My wolf and I will claim her, mark her, marry her and keep her.
Only one thing's stopping me.
The entire shifter world wants her too.
