Her fear to love again puts both her happiness and Owen at risk. This snow god is running out of time for a chance at humanity again.

You won’t be able to put this book down until you find out.West of WantElla is in the midst of burying her brother at sea when a storm nearly takes her life and leaves her injured.

She stumbles on him in his animal form and helps tend to his wounds as much as her limited vision will allow.While Chrys has spent his life avoiding touch since his father used it as a form of punishment that he poured on him while withholding any from his brother Eurus, he finds himself craving Laney’s touch.

He struggles choose between the love Laney feels for him and his brother.
