Her young son has lived an entirely nomadic life, and all Sonya wants to do is keep him safe and give him a normal childhood. Palm Haven isn't safe; the shifter clans are at war with witches and Sonya's been flung into the middle of the fight with her half-breed son. Her long-forgotten magic is no match for the raw power of a wolf pack. When Jose knocks on her door, he only wants to spook the woman. Problem is, she's plenty spooked already and his wolf immediately comes to life, desperate to fix her problems, protect her, and claim her. He's heard of her ex. The sadistic Alpha in another town. Jose can only imagine the horrors Sonya and her son have been through and he's determined to keep them safe, even if it brings to war to his very doorstep. But before Jose can bring Sonya into his life, he'll have to convince her to trust again. Will she be able to lower her guard to let him in before it's too late?
