The moon didn't choose you. Somebody did. Wren Calloway is 24, human, and drowning in debt. So when a mysterious company offers $400K to audit its books in 30 days, she says yes before reading the fine print. The fine print says the last person who took this job was her father. He's been dead for eleven years. Hollowmoon Holdings is run by Silas Rook, Alpha of the city's most dangerous werewolf pack. He's cold, controlled, and hiding one deadly secret: he hasn't been able to shift in two years. The second he smells Wren, every instinct in his body screams mate. She'd rather chew glass. But the numbers don't lie, and Wren's numbers say something is very wrong. Money vanishes into a fund called "Lunar Maintenance." The pack's comptroller turns up dead. And the fated-mate bond that every wolf worships as holy? It might be the biggest scam in supernatural history. Now Wren has 30 days to prove it, a hot-headed Alpha who might be lying to her, and an entire species that would rather kill her than let her finish the audit. What do you do when your fate is counterfeit… and the one you want might be the one who helped bury your past?

Dr. Lily Morgan spent her life chasing logic — until the first trial of her time machine flung her two centuries into the past, stranding her in 1826 with no way home. Jack Caldwell never asked for a woman to fall out of the sky and into his quiet, lonely life. But from the moment he pulls her from the wreckage, nothing about his world stays the same. As Lily learns to survive in a century that isn't hers, she finds something she never had in her own time: a heart that understands her. But danger lurks — a suspicious colonel who senses she doesn't belong, a powerful landowner with his own designs on the village, and a ticking clock only Lily can hear. The portal will reopen. And when it does, she'll have to choose between the future she built and the man who rebuilt her. Some loves are written in the stars. Theirs was written across time itself. Will she stay for a love two hundred years in the making — or return to the world that's waiting for her?
