For Amelia Waters, the small town of New Creek was supposed to be a place to start over a quiet refuge after escaping her abusive ex-husband. But safety doesn’t last long when the past refuses to stay buried. One night, after losing her job, she’s cornered by hired thugs…and saved by a stranger who moves with calm precision, like danger itself is familiar to him.
His name is Lucan. Dark-eyed, silent, and gone before she can even thank him. Yet the memory lingers the strength of his hands, the way his presence felt both protective and unsettling. What Amelia doesn’t know is that Lucan hasn’t left. He’s been watching from the shadows, guarding her from threats she can’t see, bound by instincts he no longer questions.
When he returns to her doorstep, bleeding and hunted, she lets him in without hesitation. As she tends to him, the truth unfolds Lucan isn’t entirely human, and his world is one she never imagined.
Now, caught between the wild and the ordinary, Amelia must decide what safety really means.
Can a human heart keep pace with the call of the wolf?
