Bound by fate - Paul Lahote

When Lucy Swan returns to Forks after graduating high school in California, she's prepared for rainy days, awkward silences with her younger sister Bella, and life in the small town she once escaped. What she's not prepared for is the Cullen family's sudden disappearance-or the way Bella crumbles in their absence.

While trying to keep her fractured family from falling apart, Lucy takes a job at the diner in La Push, where a single glance from the intense, mysterious Paul Lahote ignites something she can't explain. Drawn into his orbit, Lucy finds herself tangled in a web of secrets, old rivalries, and an ancient magic that binds them together in ways she doesn't yet understand.

As Bella spirals deeper into reckless danger, Lucy is pulled between two worlds-vampires she doesn't trust and a pack of protectors guarding a truth that will change everything. But when that truth comes to light, and Paul's world collides with hers in fire and fur, Lucy must decide if she can stand beside him... knowing that loving him might mean risking everything.

Passionate, suspenseful, and fiercely romantic, Moonbound reimagines the events of New Moon through a new lens-where love isn't just destiny, it's a bond that can't be broken.
