When ICU nurse Myla Caldwell locks eyes with the hospital’s new trauma chief, Dr. Damir Moon, her pulse betrays her. His scent is pure wildfire, his stare too precise, too knowing—and beneath his calm surgeon’s mask lurks something not entirely human.

She tells herself it’s attraction. He knows it’s recognition.

Because Damir Moon isn’t just a man—he’s the exiled Lycan King, hiding in plain sight among the living, guarding a secret wing beneath St. Aelius Hospital where his kind heal in silence. But when a shadow network begins abducting patients with “unusual” vitals and carving symbols into their flesh, his sanctuary turns into a hunting ground.

Myla’s instincts tell her to run. Her blood says stay. The scent between them ignites every rule she’s sworn to uphold, yet every kiss risks exposing a kingdom that survives in secrecy. And when the predator known only as the Collector targets her for what flows in her veins, Myla realizes she isn’t just his next victim—she’s the key to every Lycan’s survival.

Now, bound by choice instead of fate, Myla and Damir must fight side by side through moonlight and blood—defying pack law, hospital politics, and the destiny that wants to claim them both.

In a city where science meets the supernatural, love isn’t a fairytale.

It’s a battlefield.

And this time, the wolf bows to the nurse who refused to be tamed.
