"I can't look at you without feeling like I'm betraying her memory. But I can't seem to stay away from you either."
Alpha Kaelen of the Crescent Moon Pack lost everything two years ago. A brutal assassination attempt took his fated mate, leaving him a cold, ruthless, and broken single father to a newborn son. He locked his heart away, living only to protect his heir and hunt down the traitors who ruined his life.
Desperate for help with his traumatized toddler, Kaelen hires Elara, a quiet, mysterious nanny who wears a delicate silk half-mask to hide her "scars" and uses herbal magic to mute her scent.
What Kaelen doesn't know is that Elara is not a stranger. She is his fated mate.
Having barely survived the fire that supposedly killed her, Elara lost her memory of her past, only retaining the instinct to protect the little boy she feels an impossible connection to. She hides in plain sight, unaware that the ruthless Alpha she works for is her true mate, and that the traitors who tried to kill her are still walking the halls of the very packhouse she now lives in.
As Kaelen finds himself dangerously and guiltily drawn to the masked nanny, the dormant mate bond threatens to ignite and expose everything.
