title: Once Bitten
author: Hutchinson, Olivia
description: Lila Connelly and her friends have gotten themselves into some trouble. They’ve managed to cast a drunken spell that brings a supernatural secret society already in political unrest – the Netherworld – to their doorsteps. One faction of the Netherworld, the warlocks, want them dead since the magic they’ve conjured has branded them as the warlocks' enemy number one: witches. Gabriel Azarov is a werewolf and owner of the bar that Lila and her friends frequent. He has been bringing Lila drinks for years and has always harbored secret feelings for her, feelings he’s never acted upon since Lila’s human status keeps her strictly hands-off. But then everything changes when she saves his life and he’s honor bound to return the favor by protecting her from the warlocks who are hunting her. Only now their close quarters make it impossible to stay away from her. Or keep his hands to himself.
