Il livello delle acque del mare si è alzato, sommergendo improvvisamente l'intera città di New York. Ogni strada si è trasformata in un canale, ogni grattacielo in un'isola a sé stante.

Mein Aufenthalt in Adrians Penthaus mit seinem Wolfs-Rudel ist vor allem eines: nervenaufreibend. Einerseits fühle ich mich wie Pretty Woman, werde auf Händen getragen und von gleich mehreren Typen verehrt – andererseits merke ich, dass mir die Zeit im Nacken steht sowie ein Canicoren-Alpha, der mich eben dort beißen und markieren möchte. Sofern ich mich denn für ihn als meinen Alpha entscheiden werde. Denn ich bin es, die hier die Regeln aufstellt, nicht Adrian.

One problem. Red's gorgeous. And no one who sees him - especially his grandmother, who's his biggest promoter - believes he won't end up on the cover of a magazine. Red doesn't want to leave Mark, but Gran has given everything to raise him, and the money he could make would give her a happy, easy life.
