In Heat

There’s a secret underground club where elite humans pay to experience wolves in heat—short, brutal windows of primal need when the beast rises just beneath the skin. Nyra isn’t brave. She’s hiding from her past and takes a low-level cleaning job at Redveil to vanish. But everything changes the night she opens the wrong door. Inside: a cage. A collar. A man with golden eyes and blood on his lips. Rane has been suppressed for years, kept under control by drugs and pain. But when Nyra walks in, his heat responds for the first time in years. Her scent calms him—and ignites the ancient bond between mates. The club wants to use her to keep him docile. But Rane doesn’t want a handler. He wants a mate. And once he breaks free, he doesn’t plan to leave without her.
