Fractured (Lady and the Wolf)

Emma Voreen had her future perfectly planned-right down to the color of the picket fence and the countertops in her dream kitchen. On the verge of becoming a successful makeup artist, and with her fiancé, Landon, about to open his tattoo parlor, everything in their lives was falling into place, just as they had always dreamed.

But when Emma's father dies unexpectedly, her carefully built world crumbles. Overwhelmed by grief and hopelessness, Emma finds herself standing on the ledge of the hospital roof, ready to end her pain.

Fate, however, has other plans. Enter Doctor Drake Volkov-arrogant, enigmatic, and impossible to ignore. He pulls Emma back from the edge, but as ice and fire collide, she is thrust into a new world filled with darkness and secrets.

Drake, though drawn to her, is distant and ruthless, his own past shrouded in mystery. As Emma's life spirals further out of control, she begins to question whether she's strong enough to face the shadows that come with loving a man like Drake.

Now, Emma must decide if she has the courage to embrace a future full of uncertainty and passion-or if forever is too much for her to handle.
