She’s not supposed to exist. Finding her changes everything.

Kathryn Beauchene has spent most of her life in the shadows, remaining inconspicuous. As a daughter of a minor chevalier, she is rarely the focus of the Langeais nobility, but that all changes when her wealthy and powerful cousin vanishes, and Lothair, Count of Anjou bestows on them his estate. Far from being benevolent, the count is scheming against her cousin’s vassals, using the estate and unwed Kathryn as bait.

But Kathryn has a secret, one she cannot afford to be made public. It haunts her nights and threatens everything she holds dear. When vassal Aimon Proulx comes calling, her secret is not the only thing she stands to lose.

Three years ago, Aimon Proulx almost died. Becoming a werewolf has given him another chance at life, and opened him up to a world he never knew existed. Now the pack who rescued him is under threat and he will do anything to save them.

When he catches the scent of a female werewolf, something they’d all believed extinct, he vows to protect her and keep her safe. But with her burnished copper locks and fiery temper, their enemies aren’t the only thing she’s in danger from.
