Posy Hale has spent her life catching other women's children and returning to an empty hearth—a wandering midwife who swore she'd never belong to anyone's cage again. Trapped by a generational blizzard in a fever-struck mountain packhouse, she delivers a dying Luna's miracle pup, then watches the mother slip away, leaving a newborn who starves for Posy's warmth alone. When the pack's broken alpha returns—a mountain of a man who can't speak above a ragged whisper—the fated-mate bond flares between them in a single look. Bran needs her to save his pup and his pack. Posy needs to leave before the thaw. And neither of them is ready for what her hands can do once her buried magic wakes.
