When halfβwolf shifter Frankie Newman receives an e-mail from a family member she didnβt know existed, a secret is revealed: as a child, Frankie witnessed her father killing her motherβ¦and then himself. Frankie was torn from her pack by her motherβs human relatives, and the trauma was erased from her memory. Realizing that sheβs been lied to her entire life, sheβs never felt more alone. Until she catches the scent of an old friendβwarmly familiar and intoxicating.
Trick Hardy, enforcer of the Phoenix Pack, can sense the rush of mutual attraction when he sees Frankie again. He knows immediately that sheβs his true mate. But he also knows that, given her fragile state, he needs to tread with careβno matter how fierce his surging desires.
As aroused as Frankie is by Trickβs darkly dominant air and simmering desire, her priority right now is her pastβnot her future, no matter how tempting. But as more secrets emerge and Frankieβs life is threatened, Trick must do everything he can to keep her close and safe. After all, itβs their destiny.
