‘This book is so well written and fast-paced, I devoured this story in a couple of sittings. If you’re a fan of SPICY paranormal romance this one is for you! -Mandy (Goodreads review)
He’s her brother’s best friend. She’s his wolf’s fated mate. But their love could destroy them both. Emma Rhodes, a powerful sound mage with a talent for stirring emotions, escapes her high-octane city life to visit her shifter brother in the quiet mountain town of Pinehurst. But one wrong bed on her first night changes everything.
That bed belongs to Ryder Marlow—her brother’s brooding, emotionally walled-off roommate. Their night together is electric, but Ryder makes one thing clear in the morning: it was just sex. What Ryder doesn’t admit is that his wolf has other ideas. The moment they touched, his wolf imprinted on Emma, forging a mate bond that Ryder can’t control and refuses to accept. With a fractured connection to his wolf brought on by years of trauma,
Ryder’s fight for distance only draws them closer—especially as Emma’s magic begins to unravel the walls he’s so carefully built. But magic has a price, and Emma’s very presence could destroy Ryder. Her powers are dangerously charged for someone as sensitive as him, forcing her to suppress the essence of who she is.
To make things worse, Emma’s best friend and longtime lover, James—a charismatic music star—arrives in town, adding fuel to Ryder’s jealous, possessive wolf and threatening to tear them all apart. When Ryder’s broken bond with his wolf puts him on the brink of losing everything, Emma takes a reckless gamble to save him. But her bold act of healing magic shatters Ryder’s trust and leaves her heartbroken. Now, Ryder must decide: will he let his fear and pain drive her away forever, or will he fight for the only woman who’s ever made him whole?
Emma, Ryder, and James' story is a heart-pounding romance of passion, pain, and unbreakable bonds.
‘This Shifter romance is one of my favorites. It has spice, knotting, unique magical systems, beautiful world building, angst, kinks, and did I mention the spice already?’ - Kristen (Goodreads review)
