You shouldn't have taken that shortcut. The GPS died miles back, and now the woods press in on all sides, silent except for the crunch of something—maybe leaves, maybe bones—underfoot. Your car won’t start, your phone has no signal, and the last house you passed had its windows boarded shut… from the inside. Something here knows you're lost. And it's been waiting.

You were cast out by the Alpha you once loved—used, betrayed, and left broken in the wilderness. Now, lost in the deep woods, you face death at every turn. But fate has other plans. A rogue wolf finds you—not to kill, but to take you. When you wake, you're in an ancient mansion, silent and forgotten. And he's watching. Cold. Unreadable. Yet something in his gaze feels... like recognition.

After years of enduring a loveless marriage, Ava finally frees herself from Rowan Woods, only to discover his heart still belongs to another. But just as she embraces her new freedom, a shocking tragedy plunges her back into the very family she fought to escape. Can Ava navigate a world that constantly reminds her of what she's lost, or will she find strength in unexpected places?
