Rowan Baneville wasn’t looking for a second chance.
He definitely wasn’t looking for a human innkeeper with honey-blonde curls and a to-do list longer than the Veil is wide.
But the moment Diana Merrick opened the Hearth Hollow Inn—and the door to his old life—his wolf decided she was his. No takesies backsies.
Now the Council’s watching her, the town’s testing her, and Rowan’s old pack is sniffing around like she’s prey.
Which she’s not.
She’s the woman who talks to walls, makes tea for ghosts, and earned every damn one of his scars with a single smile.
He tried to stay away.
He tried to keep her safe.
He tried not to fall in love.
Terrible plan.
She doesn’t just want his help.
She wants his heart, his home, and his favorite tools.
