Bound and Shiftless is a supernatural coming-of-age novel about identity, legacy, and untamed power. Seventeen-year-old Micah never expected to spend her senior year in a strange mountain town called Midnight Ridge, far from her friends, her boyfriend, and the only life she's ever known. Uprooted by her military-retired mother’s sudden decision to move in with her new fiancé, Micah is determined to keep her head down and just survive the school year. But Midnight Ridge is no ordinary town. Hidden beneath its peaceful surface are secrets as old as the mountain itself—secrets tied to the Moon Goddess, to supernatural bloodlines, and, most shockingly, to Micah herself. When a violent attack triggers an awakening deep within her, Micah learns that she is not entirely human. As she recovers, her body begins to change, her senses sharpen, and a wild, powerful presence begins to stir inside her: her wolf. Torn between the enigmatic Alpha Jase and his loyal Beta Ethan, both of whom sense a mysterious bond with her, Micah finds herself caught in the middle of a pack’s politics, old rivalries, and a hidden war. But Micah isn’t ready to be anyone’s mate—she’s just starting to figure out who she is. With her past clouded in mystery and her wolf bound by forces she doesn’t understand, Micah must uncover the truth about her origins before her future is decided for her. Because in Midnight Ridge, nothing stays buried for long—and every secret has claws
