Bitten & Beholden — Heather McCorkle

When chaos descends and ancient forces awaken, only one woman can stop the world from unraveling... Sonja Michaelson’s perfect date takes a terrifying turn when she wakes up with a savage bite mark on her neck, her body undergoing bizarre and uncontrollable changes. Her attacker, a mysterious figure, vanishes, leaving behind a cryptic note: Meet me in Montana. Her senses are spiraling out of control—heightened hearing, incredible strength, and an overwhelming urge she can’t explain. Desperate for answers, she follows the trail to the rugged wilderness, but instead of the monster who changed her, she finds Tyler Viðarrson, a dangerously seductive man with a chilling secret. Tyler reveals that Sonja is no ordinary woman—she’s been bitten into a legacy of werewolves descended from an ancient pack of Viking warriors. The world of the supernatural is real—and it’s deadly. Now, Sonja is caught in a deadly race against time. Several rival packs want her to join them, each offering power and protection. But there’s a catch: if she doesn’t master the wolf inside her by the full moon, she risks losing her mind—or worse, her humanity. Can Sonja survive the battle within herself and the ruthless enemies closing in, or will the ancient evil set loose on Earth be her undoing? Prepare for a heart-pounding supernatural thriller, packed with romance, danger, and secrets that could unravel the fabric of reality itself. Perfect for fans of werewolves, Viking mythology, and pulse-racing fantasy!
