SYNOPSISRowan Ashveil arrives in Harlow Creek carrying two garbage bags, a dead brother's name, and a grief she does not know what to do with. Wyatt Ashveil, the best rider the Ironclad pack ever had, was killed six months ago on a back road in the dark. The official story is an accident. Rowan has never believed it.What she does not know is that Harlow Creek is werewolf territory. That the Ironclad MC is not just a biker crew but a pack. That her brother was their finest, their fastest, their most loyal. And that before he died, he made their eighteen-year-old Alpha, Beckett Vane, one promise: protect his little sister when she comes.What nobody knew, not even Wyatt, is what Rowan is. Half-wolf. Dormant. A power that has been sleeping inside her for seventeen years, waiting for the one thing that wakes it: proximity to an Alpha.The northern pack that killed Wyatt knows she exists now. They are three weeks quiet. That means they are already coming.Rowan does not trust Beckett. She does not trust this town, this pack, this life her brother kept hidden from her. But she cannot outrun what is in her blood. And she cannot deny that standing near Beckett Vane feels like remembering something she did not know she had forgotten.What begins as grief and suspicion slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. Rowan must awaken into what she is before the northern pack finds her vulnerable. Beckett must hold his territory together while fighting the one thing an Alpha is never supposed to feel for someone under his protection.Something that feels dangerously like need.
