Brand-new pack guardian Anders Hamilton has no intention of taking a mate anytime soon. With the Sunburst Pack healing from years of fear-based leadership, he's focused solely on rebuilding their security.

But when he catches his fated mate's scent, he can't resist meeting her. He's stunned when he shifts in front of Etta Barone and she panics, claiming she didn't even know shifters existed.

As Anders investigates the beautiful newcomer, a horrifying truth emerges—Etta is a wolf shifter who's been experimented on, her memories stolen, her true nature suppressed. When her programming begins to break down and memories resurface, Etta fights to reclaim her identity while battling the shadowy organization controlling her. The neural interface embedded in her nervous system is slowly killing her, and time is running out.

Together, they must free Etta before it's too late and uncover the dark force that's been working against the Sunburst Pack for years. But can their growing bond survive the revelation of what she was sent to do?
