Prudence Beckett and Russell Lockhart were childhood friends, inseparable until a pack war tore their families apart and put them on opposite sides of the border. Now adults-she a schoolteacher in the pack raised to hate his, he an Alpha of the pack raised to hate hers-the bond that always simmered between them finally ignites. Meeting in secret feels like treason, and both have lost people to the other's pack. To survive, they must risk everything to end the war their parents started. A star-crossed, childhood-friends-to-lovers wolf shifter romance with a guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.
