She gave him everything. He threw it away. Now fate has put them back in the same room — and he doesn’t even remember her name.Celeste Harlow has never had the luxury of falling apart. Half-werewolf, fully overlooked, she has spent her whole life holding things together — her drunk father’s disasters, her mother’s hospital bills, her sister’s reckless heart. She is brilliant, careful, and done believing in men who look at her like she is something worth keeping.She already learned that lesson the hard way.Axel Reid was supposed to be a transaction. Six weeks, fake smiles, a Council problem solved. He was never supposed to make her laugh. Never supposed to make her feel seen for the first time in her life. And she was never supposed to end up in his bed — only for him to reject her the very next morning like she meant nothing.She ran. She built a life. She raised their daughter alone and never looked back.Then the world’s most high-profile human-werewolf sports integration event drops her back into his orbit — and Axel Reid, older, more dangerous, and at the peak of everything, looks straight at her with no memory of who she is.He only knows he cannot stop watching her.She knows exactly who he is. Every version of him — the one who made her feel chosen, the one who broke her open, and the one standing in front of her now, reaching for something he cannot name.Between them: a daughter he doesn’t know exists. A woman who has been secretly destroying them both. A war closing in from every direction. And a bond that was never supposed to be real — that somehow survived everything anyway.
