Plot Summary of Bitten - Women of the Underworld 1
"A girl gets bitten by werewolf fiance and becomes a werewolf. She runs away from the rest of the pack and returns when needed."
Rachael Grew, Resident Scholar

"Elena has evaded her responsibility to the Pack for over a year. She's got a new life with a man who is about to propose, so when Jeremy, the Pack leader, telephones she doesn't want to go. But the Pack are in trouble and she finds herself returning to Stonehaven and the man who betrayed her."
Rachael, Resident Scholar

"A war is starting between the "Pack" and the "Mutts", and real werewolves don't use guns. Elena has to decide between protecting her relationship with a new boyfriend, (who has no knowledge of her furry side) and going home to help her werewolf family find out who has been murdering humans on their land. "
Manda, Resident Scholar
