Seven years later, she returns—with a pack that answers to her every command. Darius Blackthorn, heir to the Blackthorn Pack, remembers the girl he thought was nothing. But he doesn’t recognize the woman before him. Selene. Confident. Powerful. Tempting. And impossible to ignore. Beneath her strength, Selene carries a secret: her true identity and the mate bond that ties her to Darius. Old wounds and past rejection clash with undeniable desire, as the mate bond refuses to be ignored. Now, they're both faced with a second chance. But can Selene trust the man who once dismissed her? Will she give in to the bond, the passion, and the love she thought she had lost forever… or walk away again?
