Thea has spent over a year mourning Connor, the Alpha who marked her as his mate and then died fighting rogue wolves. But when she overhears a conversation that reveals he faked his death to escape their bond and live as someone else, the gentle, kindhearted she-wolf everyone calls a fool makes a quiet decision: she will let him go and accept a new mate. As a tender stranger from the Western Pack begins to court her, Connor watches the life he threw away slip beyond his reach. Can a heart that was carelessly broken ever be won back, or has he lost her for good?
