Sophia thought a quiet mountain town would be her safe haven a place to start over, to raise her unborn child far from the pain she left behind. But peace shatters the night she finds a wounded stranger in the woods. A man with silver eyes, restless energy, and danger clinging to him like shadow.
Kael isn't human. Exiled from his own world, he's a shifter alien learning to survive among people who can never know what he is. When Sophia pulls him from the edge, something inside him stirs recognition, longing, the pull of a bond he doesn't understand.
Her calm presence grounds him. His strength unsettles her. But the past she ran from is catching up fast, and her violent ex isn't the only threat circling.
As enemies close in, Kael must decide how much of himself he's willing to reveal to keep her safe. And Sophia must decide whether trust can grow in a world built on secrets.
Two outcasts. One fragile hope.
Can love bridge the distance between worlds or destroy what little peace they've found?
