The Winter She Marked Him

Ten years ago, Elias Voss rejected Ilse Norwood in front of the whole pack, on the night of her first shift, and let her walk into the snow alone. She'd have died if she'd stayed. She knows that now. She still hasn't forgiven him. A decade later, the pack is starving under the worst winter in a generation, and its alpha sends a rider to beg Ilse to come home — she's the only tracker who can read a dead forest. Ilse returns with one condition: Elias never speaks to her. Not once. Not ever. But when a saboteur starts killing their hunters and a snowslide traps them both in the mountains for three days, silence becomes impossible. Ten years of secrets come out in that cabin, and Ilse has to decide whether the man who broke her is the man who can save the whole pack beside her. The snow is thawing. So is she.
