Synopsis
Finally free from an abusive marriage, Jules has lost her faith in love. She’s moved back to her tiny, rural hometown, where she expects to spend the rest of her life fading into the background of other people’s lives, alone. That is, until she meets Max. Max knew he’d have to journey beyond his pack’s borders to find his mate. He hadn’t expected her to be a quiet, skinlocked woman with shadows in her eyes and a wall around her heart. If he wants to claim her, he’ll need to convince her that he’s worth risking her heart again. But courtship is neither simple nor straightforward between ordinary humans and wolf-kin. Bound by Silence and threatened by ancient enemies, only a love that defies all odds will be strong enough to keep them together.
