"Sign it, Genevieve. You’re too soft to carry a Queen’s patch, and I’m done pretending you belong in my world."With those words, Jaxson Thorne—the ruthless Alpha of the Iron Howlers—shattered my soul in front of the entire club. I wasn't just his wife; I was his fated mate. But to Jaxson, the bond was a shackle, and I was a liability he was ready to cut loose. I signed the papers, stripped off his colors, and disappeared into the night, leaving the girl who loved him to die in the rain.Two years later, I’ve been reborn as the city’s coldest supernatural Fixer. I don't follow Alphas; I manage them. I have a new life in the Upper Heights, a new reputation, and a new man—Ezekiel Blackwood, a billionaire Alpha who treats me like a queen rather than a secret.But when a deadly turf war erupts between the packs and the vampire syndicates, my past comes roaring back on a custom-built Harley.Jaxson is back, but he isn't the cold king I left behind. He’s feral, broken, and desperate. He says he made a mistake. He says his wolf is dying without me. He says he’ll burn the city to the ground just to hear me say his name again.He wants to crawl back into my bed. He wants to claim what he threw away.But I’m not the "Ghost Wife" anymore, and Ezekiel doesn't share his toys. As the heat between us turns from a simmer to a primal, forbidden blaze, I have to decide: Do I let the man who broke me bleed for his redemption, or do I let the shadows of the city swallow us both?Jaxson thinks he can win me back. He’s about to find out that some bonds don't just break—they hunt.
