Mara Quinn came back to Hollow Ridge for one reason: sell her grandmother's house and leave.
Then she meets Callan Voss.
Cold, commanding, and far too accustomed to being obeyed, Callan is everything Mara doesn't need. He's also the Alpha of a wolf pack she never knew existed-and the first man to look at her as if he recognizes something inside her that she has never seen herself.
Callan knows what Mara is the moment he catches her scent.
His mate.
There is only one problem.
Mara thinks she's human.
When silver bullets begin appearing near the Hollow Ridge border and someone tries to take Mara before she can discover the truth about her bloodline, Callan realizes her return is no coincidence. Someone has been waiting years for her to come home.
Protecting her should be simple.
Wanting her is inevitable.
Claiming her could start a war.
Because Mara isn't merely connected to the mystery surrounding Callan's murdered father.
She may be the reason he died.
And once her sleeping wolf finally wakes, every enemy of Hollow Ridge will know exactly where to find her.
A possessive Alpha. A hidden wolf. A forbidden bloodline. And a mate bond neither of them can outrun.
