by M.M. Newport
Marcus Chen has spent forty years mastering the art of invisibility. As a forensic photographer in the quiet town of Pitchfern, he keeps his life predictable, his routine steady, and his heart safely under lock and key. He is an expert at observing the world from behind a lens, never daring to step into the frame himself. That is until a series of gruesome wildlife attacks forces him into the orbit of Elias Blackwood, a guarded wildlife officer with eyes that seem to pierce through every wall Marcus has ever built.
As the investigation spirals into the supernatural, Marcus discovers that Pitchfern is home to a dangerous wolf-shifter pack and an ancient, encroaching threat. This slow-burn paranormal romance masterfully weaves high-stakes suspense with the deep, aching tension of a forced-proximity connection. As the danger mounts, Marcus must confront the truth about his own desires and the pack dynamics that threaten to consume his carefully constructed reality.
M.M. Newport delivers a compelling story about vulnerability as an act of courage. It is a perfect pick for readers who crave found-family dynamics and a romance that forces the heart to finally wake up. Dive into this atmospheric journey where love is the wildest hunt of all.
