When I was fifteen, I saw something that no one could explain. I saw a man change into a wolf. Everyone thought I was drunk or looking for attention but I knew what I saw. Now I'm going to prove it to the world.

Nico Miller is the quiet, silent type. With 10 years of experience, he’s probably the best artist at the shop. He's a giant at 6'8" and built like a linebacker with tattoos covering his neck and torso. Most people are a little afraid of him when they first meet him, but it doesn’t take long to see that while he might look scary, with his almost permanent frown, tattoos, and size, he was actually a giant teddy bear.

Zeke Miller is the owner of Eye Candy Ink and the father figure to everyone at the shop. An only child who had to grow up far too young, he’s always felt protective of those he loves.

She drives until she can’t keep her eyes open any longer. Spying an abandoned cabin in the woods, she decides to crash there for a couple of hours and rest her eyes. Kai Cook and Easton Wright have always been the closest friends. Their the best hunters in the pack and it’s probably because they always seem to know what the other is thinking. They’re out hunting when they scent her. Their mate. They’re confused at first.

Sam Kavan has grown up learning to be tough, at least on the outside. Raised by her dad and two brothers, she’s always seemed to fit in more as one of the guys.

When she moves to Pittsburgh and starts at Eye Candy Ink, she fits in perfectly, and soon she’s found another family in the men who work at the shop with her.
