She was never meant to belong.

Aura has spent her life surviving-moving from place to place, trusting no one, and leaving nothing behind but whispers and bodies. For five years, she's hunted the man who destroyed her past, driven by a single purpose: find him, and end it.

Donovan MacHaven was never part of the plan.

Steady, relentless, and far more perceptive than she's comfortable with, he refuses to let her disappear-even when she gives him every reason to walk away. Where she sees danger, he sees something worth holding onto. And the closer she gets to him, the harder it becomes to remember how to leave.

But the past isn't finished with her.

As the hunt closes in and the danger surrounding her grows sharper, Aura is forced to confront the one thing she's always avoided: not the man she's chasing... but the life she might actually want.

Because choosing him means risking everything she's ever been.

And walking away might cost her the only thing she's ever needed.

Legacy is what you refuse to pass on.
