"You think I’m weak because I ran? No. I ran because I wanted to live. You just wanted me silent."
"You called the police on me, Ginger... and now you think you can just walk away?"
"You’re not safe here. But with me, you’ll learn how to fight back."
Ginger Carter never wanted to live next door to the Alpha King’s family—much less become tangled in their secrets. But when her mother flees an abusive marriage and moves them into the Shadow Pelt Pack’s territory, Ginger finds herself in a world where power is everything—and even love might be dangerous.
Haunted by the trauma of her past and caught between two powerful boys—Caspian, her sweet and loyal boyfriend, and Hu, his scarred, arrogant best friend—Ginger is desperate to reclaim control over her own life. But when fate binds her to a mate she never expected, her carefully constructed world begins to unravel.
Now, every kiss is a lie, every promise a trap—and someone knows what she did.
As secrets pile up and betrayal draws closer, Ginger must decide: will she surrender to fate, or fight for a future of her own making?
