About this book
When a rugged Alpha walks into a local bar, he expects a quiet night with his loyal pack. Instead, he discovers a woman bleeding behind the counter, her scent igniting an immediate, primal need to protect her. Maddy believes she is an ordinary human, but the Alpha knows better. Her very blood hums with a secret, supernatural power that makes her a target for dangerous forces within the shifter world.
This gripping shifter romance dives deep into the complexities of pack dynamics and the tension of forced proximity. As the Alpha brings Maddy into the safety of his inner circle, he must navigate her lingering trauma from past encounters with his kind. The story masterfully blends high-stakes mystery with a slow-burn connection, proving that even the most guarded hearts can find a home in the most unexpected places.
Perfect for fans of found-family tropes and fated-mate narratives, this story offers a refreshing escape from the typical app-based serials. While the pacing builds mystery with every chapter, the emotional payoff is worth every page. If you are searching for a paranormal romance that balances intense angst with a touch of royalty-level drama, look no further than this captivating series opener.

Weird title right? Wrong. The reason is simple. If you’re anything like me then you’ve been bombarded with ads for stories online from different apps. The stories are intriguing and fun and you get hooked. Only when you go to read more, you have to pay for more “coins” to keep reading. In the end you can pay hundreds of dollars for a book that should have cost $30. Roxie Ray has become my solution to this frustrating situation. The stories they write are fun, thrilling, and sexy. This book in...

Overall the plot was interesting but there were too many issues. It took an effort to finish this book and I don't plan to pick up the next one. There aren't significant spelling/grammar issues, so that's not a reason to avoid this book. 1. Don't expect a strong/masculine alpha. -He's more like a kindergarten teacher (super duper patient, gentle, reassuring). For example, He lets Maddy take 4-5 days so get the courage to read some potentially life/death information, potentially putting many...

Roxie Ray did a good job with this book. It was full of suspense. With a group of jerks that believe that there is a vial of blood that is over several hundred years old. One person wants that vial so bad that she will do anything to get it. The problem is there its only one person left after her group went in a killing spree over three years. The person was wanting the blood in the vial for all the wrong reasons. It you wasn't to find it more you need to reads the book for your self. I loved...
