Sasha Washington has always stood her ground, no matter how hard life hits. Teaching kindergarten fills her days with joy, but summer break leaves her with empty classrooms, no paycheck, and family obligations stacking higher than she can manage. Fiercely independent, she’s determined to hold her own until one man upends everything she thought she knew.
Antoni Santini is a powerful Italian businessman and a wolf shifter bound by instinct to find his mate. The moment he meets Sasha, he knows she’s the one. But there’s a catch she’s human, and she can’t feel the bond that consumes him.
When betrayal by her own brother strips Sasha of everything, she crosses paths with Antoni again. This time, her pride clashes with his unshakable need, and their anger sparks into something hotter than either expected. Yet trust doesn’t come easy, and the dangers of his world could shatter hers.
Can Sasha carve out a place beside a man who refuses to let her walk away or will fear and betrayal break them before they ever have a chance?
