She was never meant to be the hero. She’s always the forgotten sister…until someone came looking for the secrets only she can protect.
As the middle sister in a family of legendary panther shifters, librarian Aaliyah Grant has spent her entire life living in someone else's shadow. While her sisters chased criminals on both sides of the law, Aaliyah found peace in the bookshelves. She poured her heart into the town's library, never realizing it would become the target of those desperate to uncover the secrets hidden within its walls.
Love has never been kind to her. Every relationship ended in disappointment, teaching her to trust books more than people.
Then Dr. Adonis Rane walks through the library doors.
Handsome, patient, and unlike any man she's ever known, Adonis slowly becomes the one person who makes her believe she was worthy of so much more. But beneath his easy smile lies a mission built on deception, as Adonis is keeping secrets of his own.
An orphan with no ties to anyone, he's spent his life searching for answers about his past. His undercover assignment was supposed to uncover the truth hidden within the town's walls—not entangle him with the one woman capable of changing his future. As his investigation closes in, Adonis realizes the answers he's been chasing may expose Aaliyah and everyone she loves..
When Aaliyah overhears a call she was never meant to hear, the foundation of their relationship shatters. Now they have to decide if love is strong enough to survive betrayal…because if the town’s secrets are revealed, they won’t just lose each other….They’ll lose everything.
