The Last MoonshineUpdated at Aug 19, 2026, 05:15
Brienne Tilly Cole has spent her entire life being invisible.
At seventeen, she's the quiet girl who fades into the background, the one who gets called "Tiny Tilly" by the cheerleaders and jocks who find her shy nature endlessly entertaining. She's spent years perfecting the art of being forgettable—it's safer that way. Safer than asking questions about her father, who disappeared when she was four. Safer than wondering why she and her mother have moved from town to town her entire life. Safer than confronting the secrets her mother has kept buried for seventeen years.
But Brienne is about to discover that she was never meant to be invisible.
When Vincent Donatello Alvarez arrives in the quiet town of Millbrook, he's on a mission. As the son of one of the most powerful werewolf Alphas in North America, Vincent has been sent to investigate strange rogue activity in the area. His assignment is straightforward: find out what the rogues are doing, report back, and eliminate the threat.
He doesn't expect to find her.
The moment Brienne walks into his classroom, Vincent's wolf stirs with a possessive hunger he's never felt before. She's small and timid, with wild black curls and enormous brown eyes that seem to see right through him. She smells like honey and rain and something utterly intoxicating. Something that makes his wolf howl with desperation.
But Vincent can't afford distractions. The rogues are hunting something—or someone—and Vincent is determined to find out what. When he saves Brienne from a harasser at a party and then discovers she's a student in his history class, he tells himself he's just doing his job.
He's lying.
As the full moon approaches and Brienne's eighteenth birthday draws near, the truth she's been kept from her entire life begins to surface. She's not just a shy, ordinary girl from a small town. She's the last descendant of the Moonshine bloodline—one of the most powerful and ancient werewolf bloodlines in existence. Her father, Alejandro Sanchez-Moonshine, was the leader of a powerful pack before he was taken by enemies who wanted to destroy everything he'd built.
And now, those enemies are coming for Brienne.
Vincent is torn between his duty to his pack and his growing obsession with Brienne. He knows she's in danger. He knows his father will stop at nothing to control her power. And he knows that if he claims her as his mate, he'll be going against everything his father has ever taught him.
But Brienne is no longer the invisible girl who hides in the shadows. As her wolf awakens and her power grows, she discovers a fierce determination to survive—and to fight back. She refuses to be a pawn in anyone's game, whether it's Vincent's father, the rogues hunting her, or the secrets that have defined her life.
Vincent and Brienne are drawn together by an undeniable chemistry—an enemies-to-lovers slow burn that pits duty against desire, loyalty against love, and the safety of their worlds against the pull of their hearts. As the danger escalates and the secrets unravel, they'll have to decide: is their bond strong enough to survive everything the world is throwing at them?
