PROLOGUE

LOGAN

You don’t expect a ghost to slam into you at thirty miles an hour in a Montana snowstorm.

But there she was—half frozen, wild-eyed, and swinging a messenger bag like she meant to take my head off.

I should’ve turned away.

Should’ve turned my back and let the dark swallow her whole—just another stranger running from a secret she wouldn’t name.

But the second I saw her face, I knew.

She wasn’t just running.

She was being hunted.

And she was running out of time.

I’ve spent the last five years buried in Iron Hollow—off-grid, off-radar, and off-limits. Built a life where nothing gets in and no one gets close.

Because the last time I let someone in, people died.

Now she’s here.

A woman with secrets stitched into her skin and fire in her bones.

A woman who looks at me like I’m the threat—while something worse circles closer in the dark.

She doesn’t trust me.

She shouldn’t.

I’ve done things she’ll never understand.

But I save her anyway.

Because she needed help.

Because she looked at me like salvation was a myth, and I wanted—just once—to prove it wasn’t.

And the second her body collapsed against mine, limp from exhaustion, heat burning through cold skin, breath ghosting my neck like a brand?—

They stir my primal instincts.

I didn’t ask for this.

Didn’t want this.

But I’ll be damned if I let anyone touch her.

She’smineto protect.

Even if the truth she’s carrying burns this whole town to the ground.

And I’ll kill whoever tries to take her from me.
