A Bond That Disrupts the Ceasefire

Layla Fitzpatrick prefers to keep a low profile among the more powerful supernatural beings around her. That changes during a werewolf bonding ritual, when a corrupted spell unexpectedly binds her to Michael Kolbeck, a shifter whose life spans corporate power and nighttime prowling in Boston. The city’s werewolves, witches, and vampires maintain a fragile ceasefire, placing the bond in a setting where personal ties intersect with a precarious supernatural order. The description frames the romance around an unwanted disruption and the prospect of conflict, with Layla’s arrival positioned as a catalyst for the city’s uneasy peace to unravel.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in paranormal romance centered on werewolves and shifters.
  • Readers who enjoy romance set amid supernatural rivalries and a fragile ceasefire.

Book overview

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lights Out brings her signature high stakes, steamy romance, and suspenseful storytelling to a dark paranormal werewolf romance.

Layla Fitzpatrick lives a simple life, for a werewolf. And that's just how she likes it. Her childhood was less than ideal. She'd like to spend her adult years flying under the radar of more powerful preternatural creatures. Because she knows from experience what happens when they notice you.

Everything changes one early summer night when she attends a ritual bonding ceremony meant to join two werewolves together for life. Midway through, the spell becomes corrupted and she finds herself unexpectedly mated to the stuffiest shifter she's ever laid eyes on.

Michael Kolbeck is more man than wolf. He spends his days in a skyscraper, building his family's empire. At night, he prowls the streets of Boston, a city where shifters, witches, and vampires walk a delicate tightrope of ceasefire masquerading as peace.

Little do they know that Layla's arrival will act as the spark that ignites the fire, and that thin veneer of peace is about to vanish.
