Stella Kendrick is scrambling. 

She survived her enemy's latest attack, but it came at a cost. Eager to move forward with her mate, Gideon—gaping holes in her memory, magical misfires, and a disgruntled pack be damned—they leave to visit family. Yet Fate intervenes when those she helped rescue turn against the JML pack.

Back where it all began, Gideon departs to deal with the growing drug crisis, leaving Stella without her strongest ally. As she struggles to keep the peace, she comes face to face with yet another powerful fae. Unsure whether he is friend or foe, she is wary of his revelation that someone she holds dear faces something sinister at play.

To make matters worse, Carter remains at large, and dicey pack dynamics force Stella to lean into her role as the high alpha’s mate as she strives to maintain order. 

With trouble hitting her from all sides, will Stella find the courage to face her destiny and step into her power?
