She's been running for three years. She doesn't plan to stop.
Raina has one rule - never stay long enough to matter. The temp agency sends her where the money is good, and the money is very good for the reclusive Alpha who needs a nanny for his daughter while he handles business. She doesn't ask what kind of business. Questions leave trails. Trails get you found.
But the moment Dorian Blackwood opens that door - exhausted, grieving, with a stubborn four-year-old attached to his leg - Raina's wolf does something she hasn't done in three years.
She stirs.
Dorian buried his heart the night rogues murdered his mate. He raised his daughter in exile, moving between rented houses and temporary identities, waiting for the war he knows is coming. He swore after Lyra that he would never love again. Love gets people killed. He cannot survive another loss.
But the mate bond doesn't negotiate with grief.
It doesn't ask permission. It doesn't care that Raina flinches when he says her name. It doesn't care that she counts exits before she counts blessings, or that she holds herself like a woman who has been running so long she forgot what staying feels like.
And it doesn't care about the secret she's swallowing - the one that will destroy everything if it ever gets out.
Because Raina isn't just a runaway.
She's the daughter of the Alpha who ordered Lyra's murder.
When the truth surfaces, it should end them. It should send Raina back out into the cold and confirm every wall Dorian has built around what's left of his heart. But Corbin Voss - her father, his enemy - doesn't wait for them to make clean decisions. He comes with numbers, with wolves, and with the intention of dragging his daughter home to a fate she ran from three years ago.
And the man who swore never to love again steps between her and the blow.
This is a full-length paranormal werewolf romance featuring a fated mate bond, a fiercely protective Alpha who hasn't forgotten how to fight, a woman with a healer's power she didn't know she carried, and a love built in the wreckage of grief, guilt, and the best kind of surrender.
