    Lily Carter has never made a decision that mattered. Her grandparents raised her to obey. Her fiancé decides what is best for her. Her wedding at twenty one has been planned for years. Then Lily begins working at Sullivan Wildlife Sanctuary and meets Atlas, a massive black wolf who trusts humans even less than Lily does. Everyone else sees a dangerous, damaged animal. Lily simply calls him handsome. As an unlikely bond forms between them, sanctuary owner Cole Sullivan begins noticing that Lily and Atlas have more in common than anyone realizes. Neither was born afraid. They were taught to be. And while Atlas slowly remembers what it means to be a wolf, Lily begins discovering something far more frightening than anything she has ever known. Choice. Because escaping a cage is one thing. Believing you're allowed to be free is another.

    Princess Beatrice Aurelia has always preferred books to ballrooms, questions to attention, and the quiet certainty of a library to the unpredictable nature of people. Blessed by the Goddess with the gift of Sight, Beatrice has spent her life seeing fragments of what may come-visions she has learned are rarely as simple as they appear. But there is one person she never needed a vision to warn her about. Duke Sean Blackwood. Charming, shameless, and entirely too accustomed to getting his way, Sean is everything the soft-spoken princess knows better than to trust. Once, she thought she understood exactly what kind of man he was. She was wrong. When buried secrets begin to unravel and an old darkness reaches farther into the royal court than anyone imagined, Beatrice finds herself searching for answers in forbidden histories, forgotten languages, and mysteries the Goddess herself seems determined to keep. And somehow, Sean is always there. Teasing her. Challenging her. Pulling her onto moonlit skating ponds and out from behind her books. Looking at her as though he has already made his choice. Because beneath Sean's easy smile lies a past that was never entirely his own-and the deeper Beatrice searches for the truth, the more their lives seem to have been tangled together long before either of them understood why. Especially when a decades-old painting bears her face. Now Beatrice must decide whether the future is something meant to be discovered... or something she is brave enough to choose for herself. He has spent his life running from love. She has spent hers seeing what comes next. Neither of them saw each other coming. Book Five of The Goddess's Maiden series.
