At the age of 20, Skylar Heights has a lot more responsibility on her shoulders than others do. What with her being the co-owner of the cottage lodge ran by her Mum, and being the co-guardian of her niece Mia, she has little time for much else. And even if she did, she wouldn't openly allow people into her heart look how much good that did her in the past.
But then Grayson Haze a 25-year-old self-made billionaire, stumbles into her life and causes her to unwillingly change everything she has spent three years putting into place. With this, she comes to realise that love conquers all, and maybe, just maybe, the possibility of her getting hurt doesn't compare to the chance of her being loved.
''You've built these walls to protect yourself from anything that might cause you pain Sky, not knowing that the people that could possibly love you are on the other side too''
Note- It gets better I promise. In life and in the book.

Bound
#1 Werewolf (08.09.2022) Ever since her eighteenth birthday, Skylar Morgan has been tormented by the same recurring nightmare. Now, eight years later, she's finally found peace in a quiet town and opened the shop she always dreamed of-accepting the nightmares as a strange, unsettling part of her life. Until the newcomers arrive. Among them is a striking, rugged stranger whose presence changes everything. With Dmitri Makarov's arrival, Skylar's once-calm world unravels, revealing a reality she never imagined. Because Dmitri isn't just any man-he's a Lycan, the Alpha of a powerful nearby pack, and the sworn protector of the town she calls home. He isn't searching for a mate. But fate has other plans. When Hunters begin circling Skylar, Dmitri is forced to step in-only to discover that Skylar's secrets run deeper than either of them realized. And the nightmares she carries may be the key to a legend that binds them together... and a threat hiding in the shadows. With their fates intertwined, Skylar and Dmitri must uncover the truth before the puppeteer behind the chaos destroys them both. Bound is not your typical shifter romance and contains more mature characters with a focus on the relationship and character development. This book contains some curse words and explicit sexual scenes as Skylar explores her sexuality. This book is for a mature audience.
