When a corrupted spell at a werewolf bonding ceremony unexpectedly mates Layla—a deliberately low-profile shifter who just wants to live quietly—to Michael, a buttoned-up corporate alpha who couldn't be more her opposite, neither of them sees it coming. What starts as an awkward supernatural mishap becomes a sizzling collision between Layla's wild nature and Michael's rigid control, and they'll have to navigate their unwanted bond while navigating the fragile peace between shifters, witches, and vampires in Boston. As their connection deepens, Layla and Michael discover that their forced mating might be the spark that sets their entire city ablaze—and they'll have to decide whether to fight it or lean into the chaos together.
