Until the Fire Goes Out

City girl Elara came to the remote mountain town of Ember Creek for one thing: silence. A place to outrun her past and heal her scars, both seen and unseen. The last thing she expected was the town’s brutal, reclusive sheriff, Kael, whose storm-grey eyes see straight through her carefully built walls. Kael is an Alpha bound by a bitter vow. After a betrayal that shattered his pack, he vowed to lead alone—to feel nothing. But the moment Elara’s scent of wildflowers and resilience hits him, his wolf howls with a primal need he thought he’d extinguished. She is a spark in his eternal winter, a dangerous temptation that threatens the fragile peace he’s fought to maintain. As a savage, ancient threat from Kael’s past resurfaces, targeting Ember Creek, Elara finds herself caught in the crossfire. Forced together for protection, their forbidden attraction explodes into a consuming fire. In his arms, Elara discovers a world of raw passion and fierce loyalty she never dreamed existed. But claiming her as his mate will ignite a war, both with the monster hunting them and with the dark secret Kael has kept locked away. He would burn the world to keep her safe. But when the truth explodes, she’ll have to decide if the man she loves is her sanctuary… or the beast who will finally destroy her.
