Violet Savoie has a plan. A dream, rather: to open her own tattoo shop, catering to supernaturals and specializing in permanent charms. As a powerful Seer, she has the potent magic needed to cast every kind of spell . . . except the kind her friend and business partner, Nico, needs in the worst way. Even Violet can't help this werewolf control his beastly side.

Ever since their first (and only) sizzling encounter on New Year's Eve two years earlier, Nico Cruz has been dying to get his hands-and his tongue-back on Violet's body. He knows a firecracker like Violet can't be courted in the usual way. And Nico has no scruples about misbehaving to get what he wants.

But when his former pack roams into town, Nico's focus shifts to the threat venturing into his territory. The intruders are about to regret setting foot in New Orleans. And when Violet goes missing, no charm or spell can keep Nico's wolf at bay . . .
