About this audiobook

Paranormal Romance — slow burn romance, happily ever after, swoony romance reads. A mateless wolf shifter. An exiled rival. A pack secret that could get them all killed. Riven Holloway has spent her entire life as the pack’s invisible failure—the only wolf in Echo Ridge who never shifted, never found her mate, never earned her place. When her best friend is sentenced to execution for a crime she didn’t commit, Riven knows the pack’s ruthless matriarch, Silas, is covering something up. But no one will listen to a mateless shifter. Desperate, Riven turns to the one wolf who might have answers: Kael Thorn, the exiled rival who once betrayed her trust and vanished into the human world. Kael carries scars from a past he won’t discuss, but he’s the only one who knows the matriarch’s darkest maneuver. Together, they must navigate a forbidden bond that threatens to expose the pack’s foundation—a bond that could save her friend or doom them all. The complication: Silas has her claws in every corner of Echo Ridge. Anyone who defies her loses family, status, or life. Riven’s mother is already a ghost, her father a silent enforcer. And Kael’s return has stirred old wounds—his exile wasn’t random; it was engineered to keep a secret buried for decades. As Riven and Kael work together, the pack’s elders tighten the noose, and Riven discovers she’s carrying Kael’s child—a secret baby from a night she barely remembers, a night that could shatter the pack’s laws. Now she faces the impossible choice: reveal the truth and risk her child’s life, or let her friend die in silence. Kael, who has sworn never to love again, must decide if he’ll fight for a future he never wanted or walk away from the only family he has left.
