Lilith grew up being an outcast in her pack, being half witch, half wolf shifter. She was different from everyone else. It didn't help that her parents died, leaving her all but alone. She thought finding her mate would be her chance to have a real family again.

He was supposed to be dead. She was supposed to move on. Some loves won't stay buried. The last person Sierra Blackwood expects to see is the man whose memorial service she attended three years ago. For ten years, she's raised their son alone, told him his father died a hero, and built a life from the ashes of broken promises. Now Rowan "Hammer" Wallace is back—no explanation, no apology, just those devastating blue eyes and a presence that fills every empty space she's tried to heal.
