For Addison, it's a nightmare. For ruthless alpha Xavier Black, it might just be fate. For two long years, Xavier has scoured the land for his mate, his hope dwindling with every passing day.

Thrown into a life she doesn't understand, Addison is forced to navigate the strange, wild truths of Midnight Creek. As danger lurks in the shadows and secrets unravel, the question remains: will she open her heart to the fierce and brooding Xavier, or will the forces around them tear them apart before they even begin? One thing is certain-Midnight Creek will change everything.
