First published 2024
Auden Scott's mind holds gaps where memories should be. The daughter of powerful telepaths, she suffered a brain injury that left her thoughts scattered and her past unclear. Now she carries an unborn child she has no memory of conceiving. Her dead mother's associates watch this pregnancy with unusual interest. Auden knows she must protect her baby, but she cannot understand why it matters so much to others. Remi Denier leads his leopard pack and guards his territory. When Auden becomes his neighbor, his instincts conflict. Her scent shifts in impossible ways. Her pale eyes see things they shouldn't. She belongs to the Psy, his people's enemies, yet something about her draws both sides of his nature. Auden asks Remi to help her break through the lies surrounding her family. Together they dig into the Scott bloodline's buried secrets. What they discover threatens more than just their lives. The Psy world teeters on collapse, and the truth about Auden's baby could push it over the edge.
