“I fix things that need fixing. And you, Raven, are broken.” When his best friends Vice and Victor ask Raven, a PI, to investigate Gregory Holmsworth, the estranged grandfather of Vice and Victor’s girlfriend, Mirage, Raven is drawn into the underworld of the music industry. Although on the surface Gregory Holmsworth’s business seems legit, his path has not always been on the right side of the law. When Raven’s investigation is noticed, Gregory sets Vixen to distract him. Vixen is Gregory’s Fixer, a role which is wide and varied in activity, but for Vixen, mainly involves the music side of his business, as Vixen is the lead singer of a punk band just breaking into the industry. Whilst Raven has been looking into Gregory, Vixen has been looking into Raven, and she sends him an invitation to meet with her, luring him with the promise of a way into Gregory’s business and secrets. But Vixen has other plans for Raven. She likes pretty boys, and broken things, and she has decided that Raven fits both descriptions to a tee.

Raven has always trusted her instincts. As a wolf shifter trained as a hunter, she relies on control, precision, and discipline—never emotion. But her instincts have never felt like this—sharpening, shifting, pulling her toward something she can’t fully understand… and toward the one person she’s never questioned. Jax has never had to question what Raven is to him. She’s always been the one person he never second-guessed, even before he had a name for what he felt. But as his father’s wolf begins to fail—his connection breaking in ways no one understands—Jax is forced to face something he can’t fix, and the possibility of losing everything that’s important to him. When a mysterious force begins tearing through the bond between wolves, what should be unbreakable becomes dangerous. As it spreads, it becomes clear this isn’t random. Something is targeting their kind—and whatever it is, it’s connected to a past the pack has never fully uncovered. As the line between them shifts and the truth of their connection surfaces, Raven and Jax are pulled toward something deeper than either of them is prepared for. But as Raven’s instincts begin to change and the threat closes in, she’s forced to question whether she can trust what she’s becoming… or if it’s something she was never meant to control. Because this time, instinct isn’t just leading her toward the enemy. It’s leading her toward who she is. And toward the one person she may not survive losing.
