She left before sunrise. She never told him about the baby.
One reckless night in a mountain-town bar gave Lillian a night she can’t forget — and a son she never saw coming.
Three months in, Noah’s eyes start glowing gold.
Lillian is a planner. A spreadsheet-making, calendar-color-coding single mom who has never walked into a situation without a strategy. But there’s no Google result for my baby growls like an animal, and no contingency plan for the terrifying truth taking shape in her arms.
So she goes back to Pine Hollow. Back to the man she ran from.
Jake Blackwood has spent fourteen months searching for the woman who vanished from his bed. He never expected her to show up carrying his child — a child whose shifting eyes mark him as a Blackwood heir and a target for every enemy circling the ridge.
Jake wants them close. Lillian wants answers and an exit strategy. But the pull between them is just as devastating as the night that started everything, and something far more dangerous than the truth is hunting through the pines.
The only thing standing between her son and the wolves at the door? A silver blade, a mother’s fury, and the man she’s not sure she can trust with her heart — but might have to trust with their lives.
A steamy shifter romance featuring a fierce single mom, a protective alpha who proves that strength doesn’t require a cage, and a baby who is absolutely not having the felt bear. Book 2 in the Howling Ridge Pack series.
