This is a thrilling novella set in The Five Packs world. The tale of unrequited love in the challenging North Border. The plot took a dramatic turn with a public rejection, leading to an intense struggle for love. Although part of a more extensive series, this book stands strong on its own. Its rich character development and the suspenseful story kept me hooked. The novella skillfully balanced romance, conflict, and a gratifying happy ending. It's a must-read for anyone who enjoys a shifter adult romance.
