Paul Cowley grew up in Manchester amid the chaotic world of his alcoholic parents. His early exposure to heavy drinking, explosive arguments and the unnerving aggression of his father led him into homelessness and crime. By seventeen he was behind bars. Years later, following a career in the army which 'made a man of him' yet ultimately failed to give him direction and purpose, Paul's search for meaning resulted in an unexpected encounter with God that changed his life for ever. This remarkable and touching account of his early years, from thief to prisoner, soldier and, eventually, priest, should inspire anyone who feels their life is out of control. It is, by turns, a dramatic, traumatic and comic story, yet one that stands as a testament to how God offers hope to all who have the courage to respond.

“W.What d.d.did you say?” My heart hammers against my chest as I stare into his hungry eyes. I must have heard it wrong. He leans in a closer to me, and his alluring scent fills my nose. “You said you would do anything to lessen your punishment. So, give me your body for my own little pleasure.” Cassandra, the heir to her pack, stands alone as all eyes turn to her, wanting justice for her father’s cruel deeds. However, no one notices she is also a victim. In the past, she has used her ability to see the future to navigate around her father’s nasty webs of deceit, but when she needed her gift the most, it failed to work. To keep her identity hidden, she seeks the help of a witch to hide her golden blonde hair and her scent. However, she forgets to ask one crucial thing. How long does the spell last? The victorious Alpha Drake only sees red and wants revenge. He jumps at the chance to make someone pay, but will his excitement waver when he finds out the truth about his prisoner? In addition, will his fiancé let him change his mind?
