A Heart for Another

Willow Hayes was the human orphan the Alpha was sworn to protect—a duty he paid in a hollow marriage and a bond built on cold spite. For five years, she endured the pack's scorn as a "bond-thief," only to realize she was just a placeholder until Asher’s fated mate returned to reclaim her throne. But when a devastating betrayal leads to a tragedy that costs Willow her unborn child, she realizes the man she loved was never her protector—he was her undoing. Now, Willow has broken the bond and vanished, finding a second chance at a life she never thought possible in the arms of a man who sees her worth. But as her past and present collide in the snowy Northwoods, she’s left with one terrifying question: will the Alpha who shattered her world finally let her go, or is he just beginning to realize that the human girl he treated as "charity" was the only soul he ever truly needed?
