I’ve survived under Authority rule by keeping my head down… until I catch my infuriating coworker Seb hiding a secret that can get you erased. He’s a werewolf, changed by mutated lunar radiation—and the Authority’s next specimen. When we’re forced to run, the only escape is through the wasteland ruins beyond the sectors. The wasteland zones are rumored to be brutal and lawless. But somewhere between collapsed towers and poisoned moonlight, the man I can’t stand becomes the one I can’t stop wanting. With patrols closing in and Seb struggling to control the beast inside him, every step strips away another layer of restraint. To survive, we’ll have to risk everything—our safety, our secrets, and the one thing this broken world punishes hardest… a forbidden desire that refuses to obey. A standalone shifter paranormal romance set in a post‑apocalyptic world—featuring a runaway werewolf alpha, a defiant heroine, and a forbidden enemies‑to‑lovers escape. less
