Lyra Whitlock, a lone wolf with a rare bloodline, is forced into a political mating pact with the powerful Frostfang Pack to prevent war.

But on the night of the Winter Moon festival, she has a forbidden, intoxicating encounter with a stranger in the woods. Their chemistry is instant, primal, soul-deep. Neither ask for names. Neither expect consequences. The next day, she arrives at Frostfang territory… …only to discover the stranger is not Kade Draven.
