Gideon Radcliffe, the scarred Alpha of Ash Run, carries a bloodline curse: every Luna who bonds with his line dies before the first winter ends. He learned it when his first mate died in his arms, and he has kept the world at arm's length ever since.
Ines Keegan is a healer running from the one cure that got her exiled-a healing that saved a life at a price no one would forgive. She comes to Ash Run to break a fever in Gideon's wolves, and the bond snaps the moment their hands meet. He refuses to claim her. She refuses to let him carry the curse alone.
Its origin is buried in a wronged witch's line and a debt the pack never paid. Breaking it will force Ines to do the very thing she swore she would never do again-and force Gideon to risk the one heart he has left.
A gothic, fated-mates wolf shifter romance with a guaranteed HEA. No cliffhanger.
