“Elena Ward spent four years as the fated mate nobody wanted. When Alpha Kane Voss rejects her in front of the entire pack, she expects to disappear quietly into exile, the way rejected mates always do. She doesn't know she's the last living heir of the Ashwood bloodline - wolves the old packs were taught to fear before they were taught to forget. She doesn't know Kane rejected her to keep her alive, not to throw her away. And she doesn't know that in three years, when she walks back through the Voss territory border, it won't be as the girl anyone remembers. This is a story about a woman who stops waiting to be chosen - and a man who has to earn a second chance he never thought he'd get.”
