New York Times Bestselling author Penelope Sky delivers a story filled with heartache, revenge, betrayal, and off-the-charts chemistry! Forced into an arranged marriage, Arwen and Maverick must learn to trust one another if they hope to survive. Till death do us part. My father married me off to one of the most powerful men in Italy. Maverick DeVille. But I call him the wolf. He calls me his … Italy.
Maverick DeVille. But I call him the wolf.
He calls me his sheep.
The arranged marriage was detested by us both, but we had to make sacrifices for the right reasons. He needed to avenge his mother and I needed protection from the mobs that want to torture me.
He’s not what I pictured for my husband. He’s ruthless, calloused, and cold. His walls are higher than mine. He possesses cruelty that makes him feared.
But it doesn’t take long for me to respect him…even like him.
I rely on my husband more than anyone else in the world. He provides for me, protects me, and chases away all my fears.
He lets me graze in the meadow…not a care in the world.
Because the wolf is always watching.
“When people look in the darkness, they see shadows. I see monsters. And I kill the monsters that hunt my sheep.”
I hated this marriage in the beginning, but now I realize how lucky I am.
How lucky I am to be the sheep the wolf protects…and doesn’t eat.

The Wolf and the Sheep by Penelope Sky
Penelope is at it again with an unforgettable start to her new series The Wolf and the Sheep! We follow Maverick and Arwen, they have both been forced into an arranged marriage by their fathers, Maverick for revenge for his mothers death and Arwen because she needs protection when her father passes. This is the first book in a brand new trilogy by Penelope Sky, it’s full of dark moments, plenty of action and revenge, Arwen and Maverick both hate each other but there is a chemistry there that neither of them can deny.
Maverick and his father are both looking for information on the man that once murdered Mavericks mother many years ago. After the death of his mother Maverick’s father really turned and turned into a psychopath, that while he once was a family man that cared for his children and wife, is now cold to everyone even his children and only cares about revenge at any cost. Arwen is a famous opera singer in town has a great relationship, and although she too has lost her mother seems to be living a happy life. Arwen’s father has cancer and knows he won’t be around too much longer, while they once had considerable wealth through a series of bad decisions, now has creditors that will be coming after Arwen and him both, and he is left scrambling to find someone that he knows will take care of Arwen and provide her with the protection she will need after he’s gone.
Neither Maverick nor Arwen wants to be in this marriage but they both know it’s really the only option they have. They both do their absolute best to just pretend neither one of them is there, and are trying to just continue to carry on their lives they were living before. Through being forced to live in the same house together the sparks start flying between them, while Arwen may be willing to admit Maverick isn’t as bad as he first appeared Maverick is still wanting to claim he hates Arwen.
Penelope always manages to keep you on the edge of your seat, never quite knowing what to anticipate next! I devoured this book start to finish and getting to see these characters evolve throughout the story is amazing! I love Maverick and Arwen and can’t wait to see what’s next!

Penelope sky never disappoints! Her way of making you fall in love with characters is genius. You get invested in their story. Maverick is interesting, cold but has a heart beneath all that hostility. I can’t wait for the second book.
