Selena has always known how to disappear. Hunted by a shadowy organization that covets her power, she clings to her late mother's final, cryptic words: find Yaya. Her search leads her deep into the Virginia wilderness and Sunridge Pride-a beautiful but dangerous territory of feline shifters, simmering with tension and long-buried secrets. Luke, the pride's unwavering enforcer, has spent years trying to restore the honor his family lost when Ryan, a ruthless alpha, seized power through force and bloodshed. Avenging his father's death is the one promise he made to his grieving mother, and he won't rest until it's fulfilled. When Selena crosses into his territory, her guarded eyes and hidden strength stir something in Luke he can't quite identify-a distant memory, a whisper of something long forgotten. But as they struggle to trust one another, it becomes clear that their fates are intertwined in ways neither could have imagined. With enemies closing in, Selena and Luke must decide whether to risk their hearts for a future they never dared to dream of or remain prisoners of the secrets that threaten to tear them apart. Sometimes, the only way to find yourself is to confront the past you never knew you had.
