Silent Wolf (Return To Fate Mountain #10)

He erases people for a living. She’s spent months trying to disappear. The algorithm thinks they’re a perfect match.

Reese Walker drove out of Spokane with two bags in the trunk and her abusive husband’s shadow in the rearview.

Four months pregnant and hiding under her maiden name, she washes dishes at the Fate Mountain Diner.

She keeps her bags packed by the bed and checks the front lock five times a night.

She’s stopped believing in the love she watches other people find.

So when she signs up for a shifter dating app on impulse and matches with a quiet-eyed stranger, she does the only sensible thing.

She closes the app and tries to forget his face.

Axel Rivers has spent his life erasing digital trails.

Left at a fire station as a newborn and raised in the foster system, the quiet wolf shifter built himself into Steel Protection’s best tech and surveillance specialist.

He scrubs data brokers, tracks threats through broken systems, and protects his pack from anyone who thinks a person’s life can be bought for twelve dollars.

One white work van outside the diner sends Reese spiraling, and the first flutter of her baby’s movement makes the truth impossible to ignore.

She can’t raise a child from the front seat of a dying Corolla.

She needs help. Real help. So Reese walks into Steel Protection and finds that the man she ignored is the one waiting to protect her.

Axel has to protect the woman fate chose for him without becoming another man who tries to control her. Reese has to decide whether accepting his help means surrendering her freedom or finally letting herself be loved by someone who would never take it from her.

Because the woman who thinks she’s too broken to be chosen is the one thing this silent wolf has been waiting his whole life to call home.
