What this book is about

Elena Michaels has built a human life in Toronto—a job, a boyfriend, an apartment. She is also the world's only female werewolf, trying to leave behind the Pack and the man who turned her without her consent. When a series of kills threatens to expose werewolves to human scrutiny, the Pack's Alpha calls her back to Stonehaven.
