Book 1: Fear Trilogy Ruby Nielson is no stranger to brokenness. As a counselor, she's built her life around helping others heal, all while wrestling with her own fractured family ties. But when she witnesses a brutal murder, she's thrust into a darkness far beyond the pain she's known. Alone, hunted, and teetering on the edge of fear, Ruby is forced into a world she never believed was real - and into the path of a stranger who just might be as damaged as she is. Damian Briggs is a shifter without a pack, an outcast haunted by a turbulent past he can't escape. Born into a legacy he didn't choose, he's spent most of his life wrestling with a power that even he doesn't fully understand. When he crosses paths with Ruby, her raw courage stirs something long-buried within him, something fierce and protective. But with an ambitious alpha targeting lone wolves, Damian's world is more dangerous than ever, and anyone he lets in risks becoming a target. Can Ruby find the strength to confront a supernatural world bent on destroying her? And can Damian protect her from the shadows, even as he battles the monster within himself? In a journey where love and danger are two sides of the same coin, they'll have to decide: is it worth risking everything to fight for each other? First Published: April 12th, 2024
