"It's over. I reject you, Avery Kingsley." Her fiancé James publicly severs their bond. Her sister Amelia relishes her downfall, sneering, "Poor Avery—always the victim," While her father disowns her with a slap, snarling, "You've made us weak." Avery flees to the shadows of the Midnight Pack, determined to rebuild her life as a nobody. 
But fate refuses to let her hide. A chance encounter with an injured white wolf in the moonlight binds her to Dylan Hawke—ruthless Alpha of the Bloodmoon Pack, a man cloaked in secrets and simmering vengeance. Unbeknownst to Avery, their connection runs deeper than she could imagine: Dylan is her second chance mate.
Julian Thornton, the Alpha of the Midnight Pack and her sister's fiancé, offers her protection—and a spark of attraction that threatens to unravel everything.
As war erupts among the Three Packs, Avery is thrust into a lethal game of poisoned alliances and family secrets. What shadows bind her to Dylan's fractured soul? And can she trust her own heart when torn between Dylan's possessive claim and Julian's forbidden allure?

　　My hands stilled, and the cloth fell to the counter. War? That single word sent a chill down my spine, unraveling the fragile sense of peace I'd managed to build over the past few months.
