The Curve of the Moon

Twelve years ago Nessa Okafor ran from Hollow Pine before the wolf inside her could ruin her life. Now she's back, a doctor with student debt and a plan: sell the house, bury the memories, leave before the next full moon. Then they bring a man into her ER with claw wounds no animal in the county could make. The hands holding the dressing belong to Elias Thorne — the boy she loved, the wolf she abandoned, the mate bond she has spent twelve years pretending doesn't exist. Elias has been hunting a rogue who turns bitten humans on purpose, and the rogue is hunting Nessa. Her blood can heal the bite. That makes her the most wanted woman in the county and the only cure for the man bleeding on her table. She can save him. She just has to give up the life she left him for. One night. One furnace fire. One impossible choice.
