Eighteen years after a brutal ambush left his wife dead and his young son presumed lost, Alpha King Alistair has buried himself in duty—until a chance taxi ride brings him face-to-face with Clara, a kindhearted garbage collector pushed aside by the son she raised. Believing they are fated mates, the two marry on impulse. To win Clara's love without the weight of his crown, Alistair poses as a broke mechanic while secretly shielding her from public humiliation, an abusive family, and the enemies circling his throne. But as Clara becomes the unexpected heart of his fractured family, a forgotten toy, a familiar pair of eyes, and an eighteen-year-old mystery begin pulling their lives together. When the truth finally surfaces, their late-blooming romance may decide the future of the entire wolf kingdom.
