Holland Williams didn't just leave her old life-she escaped it. She ran from years of lies and she buried what happened the night she finally chose herself. A fresh town, a steady job at Smith Automotive, and a strict warning to stay away from the owner, Remy Smith. But when he accidentally brushes her skin, her body lights up like her soul recognizes him. Sparks. Heat. A pull she can't explain. When Remy admits the truth-that he's the Alpha of the Sage Moon Pack, and Holland is his fated mate-she does what she's always done with dangerous men: she doubts, she retreats, and she tries to survive alone. But the past doesn't stay dead, and when the ex she left behind comes hunting, Remy's protection stops being optional.
Remy will never force her. He'll try to earn her, piece by piece-through patience, through safety, through a pack that starts to feel like family. But fate doesn't just choose-it tests. A witch's bargain creates something that should never exist... a man-made wolf fueled by obsession and revenge. And just when Holland begins to believe in bonds and second chances, Remy's past walks back through the door wearing perfume and a smile sharp enough to cut. In Sage Moon territory, love is a vow... and war is a promise.
