Shifted Truths

<p><strong>SARAH</strong></p><p>Two years ago I watched a wolf rip my world apart.</p><p>Now I'm rebuilding what's left of my life in Willow's Haven-a quiet mountain town that promises safety for prey shifters like me. I bake I smile I pretend the ghosts of that night aren't still waiting in the dark.</p><p>But lately I can feel eyes on me again. A shadow that doesn't belong. Notes left where no one should've been. Whispers that make my skin crawl.</p><p>And then there's Jake Walker-steady hands warm voice a smile that feels too good to be real. He makes me want to believe in safety again. But there's something in him something I can't name that calls to the part of me still covered in blood.</p><p></p><p></p><p><strong>JAKE</strong></p><p>I should've stayed away.</p><p>Sarah Miller doesn't need a man like me-a wolf hiding in a town that would burn me alive if they knew what I was. But from the moment I saw her something inside me shifted. She's fragile fierce and braver than anyone gives her credit for. And someone out there wants to break her.</p><p>I can smell it.</p><p>He's watching her. Following her. Waiting.</p><p>And I'll tear this town apart before I let him touch her again.</p><p>But the closer I get the harder it becomes to hide the truth about who I am.</p><p>Because the monster she's been running from isn't the only one with teeth.</p><p>In Willow's Haven peace is a promise built on lies-</p><p>and love might be the one thing that can't be hunted down.</p>
