Against the strange, sentient mist that haunts her darkest moments. And against the five men who’ve never stopped fighting for her. Gray, Rhett, Jace, Theo, and Wes have been at her side since childhood, fierce, loyal, and quietly devoted. Together they’ve built something that almost feels like home. But Bree stays on the outside, convinced that letting them in will only drag them down with her. Then a brutal attack shatters her fragile grip on control. And this time, the guys won’t let her shut them out. Their unrelenting protection forces Bree to confront the love she’s been avoiding, and the dangerous magic awakening within her. A power intimately tied to the mist... and to them. But love always comes with risk. The deeper Bree digs into her past, the clearer it becomes: the men she loves aren’t just part of her present, they’re bound to her by something far older, far more powerful… and far more dangerous.
