For fifteen years, Victor Nightshade has hunted his rogue childe halfway across the world. When he finally finds him in Oregon, the betrayal is nothing compared to the truth. A human girl has been sold to vampires for years, used as a source of blood by anyone who could pay, in direct violation of vampire law, a law Victor himself created.
Echo Gale has spent ten of her eighteen years as both servant and source of blood, exploited and manipulated by the people she believed were her parents. They used her love for her siblings to keep her compliant, turning her into their greatest source of income. Freedom is unfamiliar, but under Victor's protection, she begins to heal and to fall for the man who saved her.
Grayson Padua, brother to the Alpha of the Hallowed Moon Pack, recognizes Echo as his mate the moment he meets her. Proud, possessive, and used to getting what he wants, he expects the bond to be enough.
Echo refuses to belong to anyone.
She will not trade one form of ownership for another, not for fate, not for power, not even for love. But as her connection with both Victor and Grayson deepens, desire, trust, and emotion begin to shift into something none of them expected.
For the first time in her life, Echo has a choice.
And she is determined to make it her own.
