Why Read This?

A deeply satisfying redemption arc where guilt transforms into fierce devotion. You'll watch a broken man learn he deserves love while his shifter proves he'll never fail him again.

Synopsis

Thirteen years ago, I made a terrible mistake. One I'll never repeat again. When I first met Reid, I failed to see the signs that were right in front of me. He asked me to do one thing–take him away and keep him safe. I turned my back on him. Now I have to live with the guilt and shame of knowing I let him down. He can't forgive me, and that's okay. Because I'll never forgive myself. When Reid's family comes to take him away, I have a chance to redeem myself. I can keep him safe. But the more I watch him, the more I fall for the man who doesn't see his self-worth. Trouble is, can either of us forget the past in favour of the future? Or did my mistake all those years ago cost me any chance with the man of my dreams? Either way, I'm not giving up until I find out. Evan is a heartfelt hurt/comfort, M/M shifter x human romance. The second in the Wild Edges series, these books are best enjoyed in order. Each story follows a new couple, and always ends in a HEA.
