Sparrow Keating and Stark Westwood have history. Twenty-six years of it. Almost destined to be his mate, a nineteen-year-old Sparrow fled Pinehollow after her lies and betrayal led to banishment and the threat of death. Decades later, she returned to town, widowed, pregnant, and with a teenage son, seeking amnesty from the werewolf she betrayed, now the alpha himself. Behind her, a past she’s determined to keep buried six feet deep.
Stark doesn’t trust her, but he’s no fool. Blessed by the moon, Sparrow has gifts his pack desires. So, they strike a bargain: his pack will accept her children in exchange for use of her powers. They stomach each other, but tempers catch fire, leading to a night of passion. A night she pretends never happened yet can’t bring herself to forget.
Now, a skeleton from her closet has a bone to pick, threatening her four-year-old daughter.
Sparrow is forced to turn to Stark, who offers only one option: become his mate to protect her child.
Mating Stark means facing the feral wolf who’s hungered for her for decades and can’t hold back any longer.
A beast of her own making.

Nope!
This is a one-woman show. This book will be self-published, meaning it will only be available in ebook, paperback, and hardcover formats through limited platforms that host ebooks and support print-on-demand. Unlike my traditionally published works, you won’t find this on a physical bookstore shelf unless a store orders a copy and places it there. Otherwise, all editions will be available for purchase online. As of now, there’s no audiobook, but it’s a possibility for the future!
