The Wolf's Binding Witch

Witch lawyer Ava Calloway handles magical contracts—until an oath written in her own blood turns her magic against a wolf pack.

Ava escaped the family who controlled her years ago. But when her grandmother's final bequest puts an old blood oath back in her hands, one touch gives her family access to her magic again.

Blue Mountain Enforcer Dakota Underwood finds Ava at the pack boundary with her magic attacking his land. He should stop her. Instead, her scent tells him the lone witch surrounded by wolves is his fated mate.

Now Dakota is her bodyguard, Ava can't trust her own magic, and neither of them knows when it will turn against the pack again.

To save the pack and the wolf she never meant to love, Ava has to break her family's magic—and pay its hidden price.
