Emily came to Whispering Hollow for artistic inspiration and ended up with a roommate who howls at the moon. Caleb is gorgeous, guarded, and cursed: a loup-garou bound to the land, he storms out when his wolf threatens to get the better of him. Emily doesn’t flinch—she sketches him, teases him, and maybe stares a little too long.
At the Specter Suites, where magic is just part of the décor, Nina—the hotel's owner and resident witch—offers a tea that coaxes truth from the heart. When she proposes a ritual to help Caleb gain control, Emily volunteers.
What started as curiosity becomes connection. The ritual forces Caleb to see himself through Emily’s eyes; it forces Emily to decide how much of herself she’s willing to risk. The stakes are personal: a future he chooses, or a curse that keeps choosing for him.
Part small-town charm, part dangerous heat, this novella is for those who aren't afraid of the big bad wolf.
