JOSHUA A CROWN
"He left her to die in the fire that was meant to erase her family. Now he needs her to save his life, and he has no idea who she really is."
Five years ago, Elena Hart was poisoned, imprisoned, and left to burn alive while the mate fate had chosen for her married someone else. She survived, but the girl she was did not. As Seline Carter, quiet healer and devoted single mother, she has spent five years hiding in the Shadowvale Pack, raising the son she never told anyone about, the son who has his father's exact gray eyes.
When Alpha King Austin Collins arrives to save his adopted son from a viper's bite, Seline is forced back into the orbit of the man who broke her heart and never even knew he'd done it. He doesn't recognize her. But something in him refuses to look away, an ache he can't explain, jealousy he has no right to, a need to protect her that grows sharper by the day.
Then Austin reveals a secret of his own, he's dying, poisoned by a mark no royal healer can explain, and only Seline has any chance of finding the cure. Dragged to the capital under threat and a three-month deadline, Seline must keep her son safe, her identity buried, and her heart guarded, all while living under the same roof as the man who left her to die, and the wife, stepmother, and enemies who would kill her again the moment they learned the truth.
