Blackthorne Manor was never meant to feel like home.

n

When Elias Mercer accepts a temporary restoration job on the storm-beaten northern coast of Scotland, he's trying to outrun heartbreak, bad memories, and instincts he no longer trusts. The last thing he expects is the manor itself — endless corridors, abandoned wings, locked family archives, and a reclusive alpha feared by everyone who speaks his name.

n

Cassian Vale is cold, unreadable, and dangerously captivating.

n

The isolated heir to Blackthorne carries generations of secrets beneath his calm exterior. Rumors follow him through the countryside. An omega vanished before their bonding ceremony. Parts of the estate remain sealed after dark. And worst of all, Elias's instincts react to Cassian in ways that make no sense at all.

n

Because the alpha has no scent.

n

Yet the closer Elias gets to the haunted manor and the man guarding it, the harder it becomes to stay away. Hidden journals uncover a legacy built on control, forced bonds, and inherited fear. Violent storms trap them together inside Blackthorne's walls while dangerous attraction turns into something deeper, more intimate, and impossible to ignore.

n

But loving Cassian may mean confronting the darkest truth of all:

n

Some bloodlines are raised to believe love must be owned.

n

And some men must decide whether they are willing to destroy everything they inherited in order to become something better.

n
