Cast out into unfamiliar territory, she takes a quiet position as caregiver for the young daughter of Alpha Gareth, a fearsome pack ruler tortured by insomnia and untamed feral impulses. To Gareth's astonishment, Sera's gentle touch lulls his nightmares and calms the wild beast inside him, sparking a deep and protective domestic bond between them.
Living peacefully within Gareth's mountain estate, Sera gradually discovers that her wolf spirit was never defective, but sealed beneath an ancient white wolf lineage. When her remorseful former mate tracks her down and demands her return to his side, Gareth bares his fangs to defend her. Sera must decide whether to forgive the man who discarded her or stand proud with the alpha who truly cherishes her.
