Jo Tepes is not human. At least, not entirely. She lives in two worlds and yet she has never felt that she entirely belongs in either. The thin space between the world as it is and the world as humans see it is maddening at times. Pulled between what she wants and what is expected of her is only one of many battles. Fending off greedy FBI agents who are in constant need of her unique DNA and keeping the arrogant High Blood Prince at a distance are enough to keep any girl busy. Throw in a kidnapping or two, a nearly deadly assault on her brother and a collection of family secrets and Jo's hands are perpetually full. Sensual by nature she is torn between what brings her pleasure and what is right. Jo most often finds comfort in the arms, and blood, of her best friend, who happens to be a shape shifting werewolf that stands nearly seven foot tall. Trouble seems to find Jo wherever she goes and the outcome is rarely what she expects. So many things in her life seem to be predestined and she is forever feeling chained to a future she has no control over. Fate, it seems, has decided many things. Unfortunately, fate doesn't know Jo Tepes as well as it thinks.
