To Love The Hunters Daughter
“Evelyn Vale was raised to fear the woods-and to kill what lives within them. As the daughter of the most feared werewolf hunter alive, she's spent her life hidden behind high walls, reading stories of love and freedom she's never known. But when she strays too far into the trees one fateful evening, she's captured by the very monsters her father trained her to hate. Alpha Rafe Blackthorn has blood on his hands and vengeance in his heart. The last thing he expects is to discover that the human girl trespassing on his land is his fated mate-the daughter of the man who slaughtered his parents. Claiming her could tear apart the fragile line between peace and war. But denying the bond may destroy them both. Held hostage in a world of teeth and moonlight, Evelyn becomes a symbol of everything the pack despises-and everything Rafe cannot let go. As tensions rise and war looms, Evelyn must choose between the family that raised her and the bond she never asked for. And Rafe must decide if love is worth risking his pack... and his heart. Enemies by blood. Bound by fate. Can love rewrite the laws written in war?”
