In book 2 of the Jemmela in the Ruff series, Jemmela has escaped Warren and Breckenridge School after the crushing blow he dealt her at the end of the first novel. She escapes to Las Cruces, and in rampaging very publicly through several pizzerias, attracts the notice of Were stalkers, humans who know about Weres and are armed for hunt and capture. Instead of taking Jemmela, they catch Warren unawares. He is just as surprised that their secret is known to normal humans, and when Jemmela rescues him, he is careful to bring along a hostage. With some difficulty, they return to Breckenridge, and Jemmela hopes her life as a Were will only improve. It takes an unexpected turn as the Director reassigns her to the graduate portion of the school, the Hunters Quarters, a place where Warren is no longer qualified to go. He has to decide what is best, leaving her there where younger Weres will not be vulnerable to her power and Rogue nature, or rescue her against the Director's wishes. Jemmela has already decided where she's staying, if only she had the ability to get there on her own.
