Witch lawyer Ava Calloway breaks magical contracts—until a wolf pack’s cursed covenant is written in her own blood.

Ava is thirty-one, and no one has ever wanted her—only her work. So when the Blue Mountain Pack hires her to break a covenant that will take their land, she takes it for the puzzle, not the wolves.

Then the binding recognizes her—written in her grandmother’s hand, built to take her gift when she breaks it. Dakota Underwood, the pack’s Enforcer, guards her—and isn’t supposed to want the client. But the bond between them becomes the one thing Ava has never been allowed: to be wanted, not used.

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

If she isn’t useful, is she still worth keeping?
