Talia Morgan was born a wolf, raised by a pack, and destined for greatness, until her parents were killed and her vampire uncle sent her to the Matchmaker. She was rescued by her adoptive parents, Elara and Kaelan, only to learn she carried a curse. To save her life and to break the line that would have created new Elders, she was stripped of her wolf. It saved her, but left her human in a pack full of supernatural’s.
Ten years later, at twenty three, Talia hides her fear behind sarcasm, her pain behind wit, and her brokenness behind a smile no one quite believes.
When a rogue attack proves she can’t protect anyone, not even herself, Talia makes the hardest choice of her life. She leaves the pack that saved her to live among humans, determined never to be a liability again.
But fate has other plans…
Far north, in the quiet human town of Ashbourne Hollow, Talia thinks she’s finally found a place where she can disappear.
Until a vampire walks through the café doors.
He’s dark, unreadable, and far too interested in her. And when humans begin turning up dead, Talia can’t shake the suspicion that he’s behind it. Yet the more danger closes in, the more she realises nothing about him, or herself, is what it seems.
As old enemies rise and long-buried truths surface, Talia must confront the one thing she’s spent her life running from: she was never meant to be ordinary. And the mysterious vampire may be the key to every answer she’s ever needed… including the reason behind her parents’ death.
