Thorn and Claw

The Wick estate has been a wolf pack's winter ground for four hundred years. Petra Wick, its last human heir, has been dying of the pack's curse for twenty. She has fourteen months to go. She intends to spend them in the walled garden, alone, with the hedge clippers and no one's mate. Then Branwen of the Hollow comes back for his winter visit — an Alpha who should have died nine years ago, paying a debt he can't explain to a grandmother who's already buried. He can break the curse. She knows exactly what happened to the last human who took that offer. So they spend the winter negotiating. Herbs. Hedge-magic. A wolf's refusal to lie. And on the coldest night of the year, a barn full of ewes, one man between them and the frost. A fated mates wolf shifter romance about a debt, a curse, and a spring planting.
