Love is a second chance. But trust? That may be impossible.
Andrei had given up on fate. Then he found her.
Second-chance mates were a myth, a whisper of hope for those who had lost everything. Yet here she was—Sage, a miracle wrapped in pain and trauma.
Haunted by the loss of his first mate, Andrei is a hardened Alpha, his hatred for rogues carved into his very soul. Sage is just as shattered as he is, scarred from years of captivity, her trust in the world broken beyond repair. Now she’s in his care, and neither know how to face what the Moon Goddess has given them.
But hope arrives in the form of a small rogue boy named Jonah.
Jonah doesn’t know the weight of Andrei’s past or the ghosts haunting Sage. All he knows is that the scary Alpha and the quiet, broken woman are his only chance at a home.
Andrei knows he should send the boy away. Rogues are a danger to his pack. But Jonah has already done the impossible—softened Sage’s defenses. And, if Andrei isn’t careful, he might just crack his own heart wide open.
But hope is a dangerous thing.
And trouble follows the boy like a shadow.
Jonah may be the key to healing them both or the reason their fragile second chance falls apart forever.
