One gondola ride. One impossible mistake. One baby that changes everything.

Lyra Vance has spent her entire life surviving—bouncing through foster homes, scraping by on minimum wage, and learning the hard way that wanting things only gets you hurt. When a birthday ski trip leads to a scorching encounter with a stranger in a gondola, she tells herself it's just one reckless moment she'll never repeat.

But six weeks later, two pink lines destroy that plan.

Roran Hawthorne has been searching for his fated mate his entire life. The moment he scents Lyra, his wolf knows—she's the one. But before he can claim her properly, she disappears. When he finally tracks her down, she's working at his family's bar, hiding a secret that will bind them together forever: she's pregnant with his child.

Now Lyra must decide whether to trust the dangerous, possessive alpha who claims they're destined to be together—or raise her baby alone like she's done everything else. But when rival bear shifters threaten her and her daughter, Roran will stop at nothing to protect his mate. Even if it means going to war.

In a world where wolf shifters hide in plain sight and fated mates are rare, Lyra and Roran must overcome broken trust, pack politics, and deadly enemies to build the family neither of them thought they deserved.

Perfect for fans of steamy fated mates romance, possessive alphas, and strong heroines who refuse to back down.
