When halfโwolf shifter Frankie Newman receives an e-mail from a family member she didnโt know existed, a secret is revealed: as a child, Frankie witnessed her father killing her motherโฆand then himself. Frankie was torn from her pack by her motherโs human relatives, and the trauma was erased from her memory. Realizing that sheโs been lied to her entire life, sheโs never felt more alone. Until she catches the scent of an old friendโwarmly 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 sheโs his true mate. But he also knows that, given her fragile state, he needs to tread with careโno matter how fierce his surging desires.
As aroused as Frankie is by Trickโs darkly dominant air and simmering desire, her priority right now is her pastโnot her future, no matter how tempting. But as more secrets emerge and Frankieโs life is threatened, Trick must do everything he can to keep her close and safe. After all, itโs their destiny.
