She came with claws and fire, scent like sin; his wolf didn’t stand a chance. Neither did he. ••• Brant Paxton has always been the wild one—gorgeous, untamed, and irresistible to everyone. But when Sable Knox returns, everything changes. She’s no longer the sweet girl he remembers. She’s fierce, sexy, and carries a scent that sets his wolf on edge. The heat between them is dangerous. Forbidden. But Brant can’t stay away. Sable once called the Paxtons her family, but one tragic night tore it all apart. Now she’s back, stronger and smarter, ready to make them pay—especially Brant. But nothing prepares her for the fire that ignites when they’re close. Her wolf wants him. Craves him. And Sable doesn’t know if she’s falling into his arms or into a trap. As old wounds reopen and passion burns hotter, Brant and Sable must choose: follow the rules or give in to the sin that could ruin them both.

View MoreBrant I heard the splash of water—the unmistakable sound of someone struggling. Drowning. I ran to the backyard and toward the pool. That’s when I saw Sable, sinking. She was in the water, motionless.I didn’t think. I just jumped in.The cold hit me hard as I swam, but I pushed through it, cutting through the water toward her. My arms wrapped around her—her soft, warm skin beneath the dress she wore tonight. The one that had made my chest tighten when I first saw her in it. The one that made it impossible not to stare. She looked so damn sexy in it.Now, soaked and limp, she felt terrifyingly weightless in my arms.I pulled her to the edge and hauled her out, laying her gently on the poolside. Climbing out, dripping and gasping, I knelt beside her and immediately started CPR. I tilted her head back, pinched her nose, breathed into her mouth, pressed down hard on her chest with quick compressions. One, two, three—again. And again.After a few more breaths, she suddenly coughed and sp
I stood in front of my bedroom mirror, staring at my reflection. The dress hugged my body perfectly, even though I felt a bit strange in it—I’m not really a dress person. But Joss had picked it out for me for today’s occasion: Rhett’s recovery party. I forced a smile onto my face, trying to feel confident.There was a knock at the door. I walked over and opened it. The sound of music spilled into the room, and there stood Joss—looking incredibly handsome in a tailored navy blue suit. His crisp white shirt was slightly unbuttoned, just enough to give a glimpse of his toned chest. His cologne drifted in subtly, and his hair was styled neatly. He looked dashing—effortlessly so.“Are you ready?” he asked, extending his arm toward me.I slipped my hand into the crook of his elbow and stepped out, closing my door behind me with a soft click. As we looked over the staircase, I could already see that guests had started to arrive. The house had been completely transformed—soft lighting from th
Sable We came back home after Rhett gave all the children gifts, and I kissed each of their cheeks, promising to visit them again soon. Rhett had already gone to his bedroom when I wandered into the backyard. That’s when Joss walked up to me with a change of clothes—a simple shirt and shorts.He sat next to me on the lounge chair.“You’re back?” I asked, looking at him.He gave me a shy smile. “Yeah, I just got home... Rhett told me you guys went to the orphanage. He said you had a great time.”I smiled. “We did. I did. I love children… You know, one day I want to have kids of my own.”“That’s a good thing, a beautiful dream—and I think you’ll make a wonderful mother,” he said warmly.“Thank you,” I replied. We sat in comfortable silence, looking at each other for a moment, the silence stretching between us before he finally spoke again.“I wanted to ask you something… I hope you won’t say no.”“Shoot,” I said, curious.“You can take your time to think about it,” he added, almost ner
Sable We stopped at an orphanage, and as we entered, all the children were already coming out of the building with smiles lighting up their faces. I couldn’t help but smile too. I know it sounds cheesy, but I love children—a lot. They’re my weakness.'Do you think Brant loves children too?' Selene asked in my head.'Selene, don’t spoil my mood and annoy me,' I replied silently.Honestly, I didn’t think she could annoy me—not while I was surrounded by these children. They were now gathering near a small stage that had been set up, organizing themselves into neat little rows as they sat down.“This orphanage was founded and built by my mother,” Rhett said.I turned to him and smiled. I hadn’t known that. I mean, I did know there was an orphanage my mother used to visit every month after she married Mr. Paxton—was this it?We stepped out of the car as the driver went to retrieve Rhett’s wheelchair from the trunk. Together, we helped him into it. He was heavy, and a part of me wished he’
Sable After Brant left, I went to my bedroom, picked up the flower, and headed to Joss’s room. He was getting ready to leave for the company. I knew I should have been giving Rhett his leg massage by now—but that would have to wait.His door was open, so I walked in with the note and flower in hand, a smile plastered on my face.“Thank you, Joss,” I said sweetly.“It’s nothing…” he replied with a small smile. “It was just my way of apologizing for locking you down there. I shouldn’t have done that—and for all the nice things you said.”“No, don’t say that. You didn’t even know you closed it on us,” I said, smiling warmly.He stepped toward me and gently took my hand. “You’re a sweet person, Sable. Why don’t we talk when I get back?”I nodded. “Sure.”Joss is charming. Gentle. Considerate. Thoughtful. The kind of person who notices the little things—and actually cares. He made something as simple as a note and a flower feel like a rare treasure. It was... nice. A kind of softness I ha
We finally had dinner, and this time, they let me join them at the table. Brant kept staring at me with that same hungry look—the one he'd had since he said those words to me. And ever since, I’d been speechless. We hadn’t talked about what he said, but the way he looked at me… it was as if he could undress me with his eyes alone.After dinner, Rhett, Joss, Kit, and Brant went back inside the house. I stayed outside, lying on the lounge chair for a while, staring up at the stars. I used to do that with Mum and Jessica.How I wish they were here with me.Why, Jessica? Why fall for someone like Brant—a selfish brat?I heard footsteps approaching and turned my head to see Brant walking toward me. He’d changed into a simple black shirt and shorts. He sat down on the lounge chair next to mine and stretched out, lying back comfortably.“You know, there’s a wonderful woman who once told me if you stare at the stars—”“You can picture anything you want,” I finished for him.He looked at me, e
