Not everyone deserves a chance at redemption.

Being kidnapped and taken as a mate by one of the most ruthless shifters in recent history hadn’t been on my to-do list, but that was exactly what had happened. For years, a partial bond prevented me from leaving, his cruelty making it impossible for me to make the best of a bad situation. When he was murdered, I thought I was free.

I’m not. Even in death, he doesn’t let me go.

But when the man I help kidnap is freed, he does the unthinkable and helps me on one condition: I go far away and never return. Now, I’m finally free for the first time since that fateful day, and what do I do? I head straight to the one place I promised never to go. I have no choice. My jackal insists.

Please don’t let this be a mistake.
