For three long years, Violet was held captive, beaten, and starved. The only thing that kept her going during the last few months was the innocent life growing inside her. When a neighboring pack swoops in and rescues her, she has to decide if she's going to live in fear or risk her body-and her heart-to claim her true mate. The instant Joss caught the scent of the woman in the dilapidated shed on the outskirts of the Mahehkan lands he'd known she was his mate. Now she's in his home, and her body is healing. But it takes a lot more than disappearing cuts and bruises to repair the damage done to her. He's determined to do whatever it takes to make her whole again-even if it means losing her in the end.
