Brock walked away from the Wolf County Nightwalkers, leaving behind the weight of his Alpha status and any ties to pack life. A lone wolf by choice, he vowed never to be bound by duty or loyalty again until he learns his sister and nephew are in danger. Now, the past he fought to escape is pulling him back, and this time, walking away may not be an option.

Deb Snodgrass was once the queen of small-town gossip. But karma has a way of humbling even the sharpest tongues, and Deb has spent every day since trying to be someone she can respect. Change isn’t easy, and forgiveness, especially for herself, feels impossible.

The attraction is instant when Brock and Deb cross paths. With both of their lives in chaos, neither has room for distractions. An undeniable pull between them grows stronger, especially as danger closes in. He swore he’d never belong to a pack again. She never thought she’d be worthy of love. But fate has other plans.
