A brilliant botanist seeking refuge in the heart of a primordial forest. A reclusive alpha sworn to protect his sacred land. A forbidden desire that ignites under the light of a blood moon.
Dr. Seraphine Voss has dedicated her life to logic and science. But when she escapes to the ancient Blackthorn Hollow, she discovers a world that defies explanation. She's searching for a rare flower, but the forest holds deeper secrets, and a danger she never anticipated. Watching her from the shadows is Ruan Marwood, the alpha of a reclusive clan with a dark and savage past. He's a man of raw power and quiet sorrow, and Seraphine feels an urge to unravel the mystery that surrounds him.
When poachers threaten the heart of the forest, Seraphine is thrust into a bloody conflict where the lines between man and beast blur. Ruan offers his protection, a promise that feels both like a sanctuary and a trap. Drawn into his world of primal instincts and unbridled passion, Seraphine must confront her deepest fears and desires. The connection between them is hypnotic, a tantalizing dance of dominance and surrender that pushes her to the edge of reason.
But the forest demands a sacrifice, and the poachers are not the only threat. Ruan's world is one of secrets and lies, and to survive, Seraphine must embrace a truth more wild and terrifying than she ever imagined. Can she trust a man who is more than human? Or will her quest for knowledge lead to her own annihilation in a world where lust and danger are intertwined?
