He wanted a chance to be himself.
She gave him something real.

When Hollywood’s most elusive leading man, Hank “Ace” Sterling, escapes to Mallorca for a quiet break, the last thing he expects is to crash—literally—into Evy Braam, a small-town teacher and single mother finally taking time for herself. She doesn’t recognize him. And for the first time in years, he isn’t treated like a star—just a man.

What begins as a chance encounter quickly becomes something deeper. Effortless conversation. Real connection. A spark neither of them planned—and neither of them can ignore.

But real life waits back home.

Evy has two children, a carefully built life, and a past that taught her not to risk everything on something uncertain. Hank lives in the spotlight, where privacy is an illusion and truth has consequences.

When Hank shows up in her world instead of asking her to step into his, Evy is forced to face the one thing she’s been avoiding: What if this is real? And what if she lets herself have it?

When Harper Deveraugh flies to San Francisco to visit her half-brother Michael, she never expects her world to turn upside down. She’s barely off the plane before she meets Laken Howlkind—a mysterious and captivating man who seems to spark something primal in her. What Harper doesn’t know is that Laken is more than just Michael’s best friend—he’s the Alpha of the San Francisco Area werewolf pack.

With Michael secretly battling terminal cancer, he has one final request: that Laken marry Harper to ensure she’s cared for after he’s gone. The last thing Harper expected was an arranged marriage to a stranger.

As Harper navigates grief, a forced marriage, and her deepening feelings for Laken, she begins to sense something is different about the man she’s been bound to. But Laken harbors a secret that could change everything: he’s a werewolf and she is now part of his world.
