About this book
Natalia’s life shattered the moment she discovered her fated mate in the arms of her own sister. Pregnant and betrayed, she chose the only path left: silence and escape. For four years, she has successfully hidden her son and her heart from the brutal world of pack dynamics, building a quiet, independent life far from the man who discarded her.
But the past is never truly buried. When her ex-husband tracks her down, determined to reclaim his heir, Natalia is thrust back into a dangerous world of shifting loyalties. Just as she fights to protect her autonomy, she crosses paths with Zane, a forsaken shifter who offers a second chance at love. As war looms and old enemies close in, Zane must prove that his devotion is worth the risk of opening a heart that has been locked away for years.
This gripping paranormal romance masterfully weaves together high-stakes betrayal, found-family warmth, and intense, steamy chemistry. Stephanie Light crafts a world where the scars of the past threaten to derail the future, making every page an emotional rollercoaster. If you are looking for a story that is as heartbreaking as it is hilarious, this is the addictive shifter saga you have been waiting for.

I have been following this authors journey for a long time now and this particular story was how I was first introduced to her writing. It was so engaging i found her other works and gobbled them up just as quickly. Her writing style I have found to be unique and real. Even though these are fantasy worlds and the romance scenes are great, there is also amazing plot lines and characters you fall in love with and the way she writes these situations they just feel like reality. I really appreciate...

This is the first book I read from this author years ago, and now I’m so excited to own the paperback. Zane is one of the most wonderfully written MMCs, and I truly loved adored him. I also loved the author’s strong FMC, though I disagreed with her at times, I thought both main characters and the side characters in this story were very well-written. This is a book I want to read cover to cover and then again for the heroes, the villains, and all the rest. I would definitely recommend for anyone...
