Six months ago I was rejected by my fated mate and handed to his brother like a treaty term. Now I have a name I chose to keep, a cottage that feels like mine, and a bond with Josiah I didn't expect to want — until Nolan Conri rides back through the gates.

He's not here to apologize. He's here to contest the ceremony that severed our bond, and every hour he stays, the council edges closer to voiding my marriage.

I built a life from ash and quiet mornings. I won't give it up because the wolf who once called me a mistake has changed his mind.

But Nolan isn't the only shadow resurfacing. The rogue attack that scarred Josiah wasn't random — and the deeper I dig, the more the conspiracy threatens the pack, the bond, and the fragile trust Josiah and I have built.

I fought once to be chosen. Now I'll fight to stay chosen — on my own terms.

An enemies-to-allies wolf shifter romance featuring a rejected mate's return, a hidden conspiracy, a scarred Alpha hero, and a heroine who finally claims her own name. Steamy, slow-burn, and satisfyingly possessive — the conclusion to a fated-mate duology.
