Raised as a human, Amethyst Owens learned the hard way to avoid the paranormal. To secure her financial future, she signed with a talent agency and moved eighteen hours from home. There’s only one week left in her contract. She recklessly agrees to a night out with a vampire — asking herself what’s the worst that could happen?
She never thought the answer would be murder.
Amethyst wakes up covered in blood and wastes no time trying to make sense of how she’s cheated death. Now determined to forget the last six years had happened at all, she returns to the comfort of her hometown. Seeking a sense of normalcy, she accepts a job at the local convenience store.
Unfortunately, chaos follows her.
Her scrape with death haunts her. Someone watches her from the shadows. Meanwhile, she’s inexplicably drawn to her new boss.
Unprofessionalism aside, she discovers he is a wolf shifter. Can she trust her heart given the circumstances that put her in his path?
Desperate to separate himself from his father’s dark dealings, Skyler Ashford abandoned his pack. He moved to the small town of Tarot Lake, settling into a retail managing job.
After ten years, he accepted the penalty for leaving the pack. To live out his days as a lone wolf; never to receive a Goddess-blessed mate.
Then she walks in, interested in the open cashier position.
Though the bond doesn’t snap in place as lore led him to believe, Skyler can’t fight the gravitational pull he feels. He doesn’t need a bond to tell him; he knows he is hers.
He vowed never to involve himself with employees. But she needs a job, and he needs to keep her close.
Which will break first — Skyler’s vow or his heart?
