Living in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies outnumber the living, Jerrica's life is turned upside down when the Werewolf Defender arrives at her settlement.

Jerrica Barnes has longed to experience life outside her settlement's walls, but living in a post-apocalyptic world where zombies outnumber the living, she knows she'll never get to fulfill her dream. But the day Calan, the Werewolf Defender, comes to save her from a zombie attack, she finds her life turned upside down.

Calan has never allowed anyone to get close to him since he was turned a hundred years before at age eighteen, but Jerrica makes him long for things he hadn't known were missing in his immortal life.

Jerrica and Calan have to overcome those who would keep them apart, while Jerrica has to make a decision that could keep them together for all time or have Calan walking out of her life forever.

Now a Werewolf Defender, Jerrica must find her way into what she's become and overcome fears she didn't expect.

Being changed into a Werewolf Defender opened a whole new world to Jerrica—one she hopes to explore with her mate, Calan. Now able to take on her wolf Defender form and end zombies with her teeth and claws, she should have no fear of the creatures who have pretty much taken over. At least, that's what she thinks.

But her experience with having been bitten and almost turned into an undead has left a scar she hadn't counted on. She freezes when confronted with a zombie, and she can't shake it.

While she is trying to learn about her new life and all it entails, Jerrica finds that everything continues to change—and not for the better. But going it alone is not an option.
