Can't Fight Love: Book 2

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

When touched by nightmares, sometimes even love can shatter you.

How can one moment become the kind of wound that touches everyone around it, rippling through lives that were never supposed to bleed from it? One moment should not have the power to ruin so many lives. But for Danika and Donovan Volchyakrov, it does. What happens to them does not only stay with them. It tears through the Volchyakrov pack, poisons the bones of their family, and leaves a wound the werewolf community refuses to forget. A brutal memory. An unforgivable sin. The stain that clings to Danika and spreads to everyone who dares to love her. Some crimes do not end when the tears and blood dry. They become inheritance. Generation after generation, the Volchyakrovs learn to live with the dark… To survive it… To sharpen themselves against it. And when mercy feels useless, when goodness feels too fragile, sometimes the only way to fight the nightmare is to become something worse… The thing that waits in the shadows. The reason monsters check over their shoulders.

Love should be impossible for people like Danika and Donovan. Too soft. Too bright. Too dangerous for souls that have spent too long living in the shadows. But when love finds them anyway, they will have to decide whether to reach for it… Or let the past drag the last pieces of them under. How do you remember how to breathe when drowning has become the only life you know?
