I made a vow in desperation.
A vow that bound me to the last man I ever thought I’d stand beside—and the only man my wolf could never deny.

Blueridge Hollow needed a leader, and I was willing to sacrifice everything to secure my pack’s future.
Even if it meant tying myself to him.

Wolfe was never meant to return.
Now he stands as alpha of not just Blueridge Hollow, but the entire Stonefang Pack—and the weight of that power casts a long, dark shadow.

Trouble is coming.

Our marriage was meant to be a deception.
A political arrangement.
A necessary lie to keep Blueridge Hollow alive.

But lies have a way of becoming truth.
And a bond forged under pressure burns hotter than either of us expected.

When enemies strike from within and trust begins to fracture, I’m forced to face the question I’ve avoided: can I hold the line between duty and desire—or will surrendering to Wolfe cost me everything I’ve fought to claim?

Our world demands loyalty.
Our hearts demand war.
