Fox's Absolution

Once upon a time, Cordelia Reynarde had the best of everything. Now, she has a lot to apologize for. Sure, she was a teenage victim of her toxic family, but she owns her bad behavior, and she's determined to atone. Starting with Trent Reveson—who spent years exiled from their fox shifter clan.

If only she could ignore his rock-hard muscles, a masculine face that's weathered more than just bad times, and a steely gaze that tells he's neither forgotten nor forgiven.

Once upon a time, Trent believed in love. Time and life—and Cordelia's betrayal—fixed that. Trent doesn't trust the "new and improved" Cordelia as far as he can throw her, but all these years later, she still dances in his imagination. And her tantalizing scent entices his fox to get closer.

As Cordelia throws herself into his makeover, Trent finds himself envisioning what a relationship with the poised, lovely woman would look like. But even though Cordelia has changed, her family has not. They're not above using Cordelia's love to get what they want, even if it means sacrificing the heart of the only man she's ever loved.

Note: Fox's Absolution is the third book in the "Heart of a Fox" series. It can be read as a standalone.
