Five years ago, I walked away from Alex Callahan the man I loved and the hockey star who broke my heart. Now I’m a sports journalist assigned to cover his championship season. He’s colder than I remember, more powerful than ever, and surrounded by women who want him. But every time our eyes meet, I see the same hunger that once made me believe he would love me forever. He says he never stopped wanting me. I know I should stay away. But five years ago, we lost our love. This time, we might lose ourselves.

Then Kane rejected her in front of the entire pack, choosing status and a political match over a bond he called “inconvenient.” Humiliated and broken, Luna is ready to leave the territory for good until Alpha Magnus Ashford, Kane’s father, and the most powerful, most feared wolf in the Northern Packs, stops her at the border. What he offers isn’t pity. It’s a claim of his own. Magnus has watched his son throw away something rare. He doesn’t believe in wasted bonds and he’s done watching from the sidelines. But claiming his own son’s rejected mate will fracture the pack, ignite a war of pride between father and son, and force Luna to decide if she’s brave enough to choose the wolf who chose her back, consequences be damned.
