Tasting Red

Red has spent years building a quiet life at a human college, with no magic in it. Her grandmother is a powerful mage, and her other grandparent is Brexley, the biggest and baddest werewolf in the neighborhood. Red has kept her distance from both.

A routine visit to her grandmother's house goes wrong. In the bedroom she finds a heavily scarred wolf shifter, and her grandmother is gone. The shifter was sent to kill her grandmother on behalf of a rival power.

Now Red is a target as well. The man who came to eliminate her grandmother becomes her only protection, and she has to stay close to him until her grandmother resurfaces.

This is a Red Riding Hood retelling that turns the big bad wolf into an assassin who switches sides, and the romance between the two drives the story. The pace is fast and the heat level is high, with spice written openly into the plot rather than kept behind a closed door. It is the first book in the Lost Girls series.
