Katherine 'Kit' Prescott has never known a life outside the looming shadow of Ashwood Hall. Born the only daughter of the Prescott Timber dynasty, her days are lined with expectations: perfect posture, perfect grades, a perfect future. But in the quiet corners of her childhood, she found something the Hall could never offer her-friendship.
Seth Clearwater was the caretaker's son. He spent summers hauling wood, painting fences, and trailing behind his father, Harry, as he kept Ashwood Hall running. Where her parents saw "help," Kit saw her best friend-the boy who made her laugh until her stomach hurt, who slipped her cookies in the kitchen and called her Kit when everyone else called her Katherine.
They grew up together, inseparable despite the unspoken rule: Seth could be her friend, but never more.
Everything shattered the spring Harry Clearwater died. Grief-stricken and furious, Seth turned his anger on the Prescotts, convinced the long hours and endless work at Ashwood Hall had helped wear his father down. At the funeral, he couldn't even look at Kit. Later, a single bitter text ended everything.
Two years passed. Two years of silence, of Kit living in her parents' world of prep schools and polished futures, and Seth living in the dark aftermath of his father's death-his grief compounded by the secret that changed his life: the wolf inside him.
When fate finally forces them into the same place again, the universe makes its choice. Seth imprints.
Now Kit and Seth are pulled back into each other's orbit, bound by something far older and deeper than family rules or class divides. But love that was once forbidden has become inevitable-and in the world of wolves, destiny is as dangerous as it is inescapable.
At Ashwood Hall, nothing will ever be the same.
