Story Notes

Summary

Keiko Tanaka comes to Alaska to disappear. Weeks from an arranged marriage, she discovers her fiancé Hiroshi’s import empire is a front for human trafficking—and that “wife” in his vocabulary means property. She flees into the Allied Packs’ mail-order residency, hoping three months of wilderness and anonymity will buy her freedom. Instead, she walks into a world of hidden wolves, ancient Accords, and men who look at women like solutions. Gideon Cross is Silver Storm’s enforcer—an infamous killer who has survived by being a blade. When he scents Keiko, desire feels like a threat. He refuses to poison her life with what he is… until an Alpha with velvet cruelty, Dorian Vale of Nightgale, targets Keiko and turns pack politics into a hunt. Gideon’s restraint becomes obsession; Keiko’s defiance becomes his only salvation. With banter like sharpened steel and tension that bites, Keiko forces Gideon to earn every inch. As enemies close in and Vale threatens to drag Keiko’s past into wolf territory, they must decide whether love is a cage or ... the beginning of possibility.
