Diaries of an Urban Panther

Violet Jordan thought the fairy tales her mother wove were just a way to get Violet to sleep, not a way to prepare her for the apocalypse she is the key to preventing. When she becomes a midnight snack for werepanther Spencer Haverty, his infectious bite invokes the first element of her destiny. When Violet's budding instincts allow her to save a boy's life, she realizes this new gig may come with perks: a slimmer figure, the attention of a handsome Guardian, and insights into her future embedded in her mother's stories. But as push comes to claws, can Violet make the fatal strike against the men threatening her new family, her new home and her first boyfriend in ages?

Oh, not to mention she's supposed to be planning a wedding. Chaz has got to be the best, most patient (and probably clinically insane) fiancé around. But defeating her sworn enemy in a battle for the souls of Dallas is going to require more than just her full attention. It means learning to depend on everyone, especially Chaz, if any one is going to make it out of this alive. Because if Plan A doesn't work, she's going to need them for Plan B. And Plan C...
