He ghosted her years ago... Ana Cordona has been a strong leader for the lupine shifters who survived after half her pack was murdered. As tough as she is, her pack is vulnerable to a devious neighbor who wants their landโand Ana as his own. So when a ghost from her past barrels back into her life promising protection, itโs almost enough to make Ana forget how he walked out on her beforeโand reluctantly accept his offer to mate. Now heโs back. Connor isnโt walking away again. Ana has always been his mate, something his wolf accepted long ago. And the only reason he left before was for her own protection. Whatever it takes, heโs determined not to leave her side againโbut danger is all around them in the form of a rival pack and a radicalized human element in town who wants to destroy all shifters. If they want a chance at a futureโand to survive the deadly threats closing inโtheyโre going to have to learn to trust each other. Unfortunately, the danger is closer than they ever imagined.
