BLURB: Everly Hart waited her whole life for the mate bond every wolf dreams of. When it finally snaps into place at eighteen, standing in front of the entire Blackridge Pack, her mate is none other than Kane Rourke, the coldest, most powerful Alpha their territory has ever known. He looks at her once, calls her weak in front of the whole pack, and rejects her on the spot. Humiliated and broken, Everly leaves Blackridge territory determined to become someone the world cannot dismiss. Three years later she returns, stronger, sharper, and leading her own small pack, only to find that the mate bond never actually died. Kane wants her back, but Everly is no longer the girl who begs to be chosen. This time, he will have to earn her, and the cost of his mistake may be higher than his pride can survive

BLURB: Marcus Kane built an empire from nothing and lost everything that mattered to build it. Now, at sixty-two, a terminal diagnosis gives him ninety days to fix what forty years of chasing money broke: a son who hates him, a daughter he has never met, and a first love he betrayed for a business deal. But the past does not forgive on a deadline, and one buried secret could undo his last chance at redemption before it even begins.
