Publisher's Synopsis
Years ago, sensitive Jude Brooks got tired of watching junior high life through the vents in his locker. Unfortunately, handsome Hayden Cox's favorite pastime was putting him in there. When Jude's werewolf friends torment Hayden for being human, he takes it out on distractingly beautiful Jude. A lot. Tired of having his son picked on, pack member Henry Cox moves his family away. "Cox the cock" is gone - so why does Jude feel disappointment mixed with his exhilaration? In another city, Hayden is finally being accepted - so why is he constantly haunted by the memory of mesmerizing violet eyes? Fast-forward to a meeting as adults, and the air is so thick with tension and anger that it can be grabbed and shaped into adorable animals. Jude's rage toward his nemesis has boiled over and nothing Hayden can do or say will make it go away. Hayden's efforts to make peace convince everyone but Jude he's a changed man. In fact, he's a werewolf now and he wants nothing more than for Jude to forgive him. Jude wants nothing more than to ignore Cox the cock and be taken seriously as a protector of the pack. If longing looks and lustful thoughts are anything to go by, this situation is far from resolved. Is Jude's best friend really dating Hayden? And why does he care? Can he ever completely trust the person who spent years treating him like an algebra book? Will a survival test in Siberia and a stunning revelation bring them together or tear them farther apart? Maybe they'll both be taught a lesson about love.
