In Blueridge Hollow, tradition is law—and tradition doesn’t bend for daughters.
Rowen was raised to lead: fierce, disciplined, and loyal to the bone. But with her father—the alpha—dying, brutal reality sets in. No matter how skilled she is, no matter how ready, the pack will never accept a female leader.
The Pack Council has a solution. A political mating. Choose a husband. Surrender the title. Smile while they hand her birthright to someone else, and Blueridge Hollow will secure their future.
Then Wolfe returns.
The boy she once rejected is now the man who threatens to upend everything. Wolfe is everything the pack wants in a leader. Dominant, dangerous, and completely outside her control. Worse, her wolf knows him. Wants him. And the feeling is anything but one-sided.
Rowen must make an impossible choice
Fight for a place she was never meant to claim…
Or surrender to a man who could save her pack—and break her in the process.
Some wolves are born to follow.
Rowen was born to defy.
