Sera Calloway has been running for three years. Not from the law. From the truth — that her father, a wolf hunter, was in the woods the night Alpha Harlan Voss was killed. Now her car has broken down in Millhaven, a town that belongs to the dead Alpha's son. And the moment Caden Voss walks through the bar door, something inside Sera recognizes him in a way she cannot explain and cannot afford. He is the Alpha whose father her father was blamed for killing. He is also her fated mate. Caden has spent three years leading a pack still bleeding from its worst wound, waiting for answers that never came. He tells himself the girl at the bar is a complication. A security risk. Someone who needs to leave his territory before she becomes a problem he cannot solve. But the bond does not care what either of them has decided. And the truth about the night Harlan Voss died is darker than either of them knows — buried inside Blackridge's own walls, protected by someone who has been watching them both from the very beginning. Some loves are forbidden for a reason. Some secrets are buried because letting them surface would burn everything down. This one is about to surface anyway
