When a ritual bonding ceremony goes catastrophically wrong, Layla finds herself unexpectedly mated to Michael—a buttoned-up werewolf CEO who's basically the opposite of her low-key, under-the-radar existence. The problem? Their forced connection threatens to destabilize the fragile peace Boston's supernatural creatures have carefully maintained, and there are plenty of powerful beings who won't take kindly to the upheaval. As Layla and Michael navigate their unwanted bond and the brewing danger surrounding them, their chemistry becomes impossible to ignore—but so do the dark forces circling closer. This is a slow-burn paranormal romance that'll have you absolutely hooked from the first page, with just the right blend of tension, mystery, and swoon-worthy tension.
