Summary
After surviving a brutal attack, Lyra isn’t looking for love. She came to survive broken, fiercely protective, and hellbent on building something steady for her children among the Montana pack. But when a man with a haunted smile and a warrior’s soul lingers a little too long, everything starts to shift.
Tag has waited over 700 years for a bond that never came until Lyra. One touch of Lyra, and everything inside him howls to belong. She's soft in the places that still bleed, and everything he didn't know he'd been missing. Earning her trust means more than proving himself to her—it means proving himself to her kids and the past she’s still trying to outrun.
Pack life draws them together, desire simmers, and trust deepens. As storms brew in the distance. Desire turns dangerous. Secrets rise. And the quiet land Lyra hoped would be safe may hold threats of its own. Together, they’ll have to choose: keep running from the pain, or face it together.
