Pumpkin Spice, Knotty Nights

I vowed never to belong to anyone again… Some promises are meant to be broken.

At twenty-two, I’ve already had my share of hell with being forced into an arranged marriage with an abusive man by parents, who couldn’t care less. But Whispering Grove is my fresh start. My own apartment. My brewery job. My life, finally.

So when my bestie drags me to the town’s Halloween festival, I’m trying to enjoy the pumpkin spice and haunted hayrides like a normal person. I even laugh when I think I see my ex in the house of horrors. Just my anxiety playing tricks, right?

Until he walks into the Harvest Dance. Very real. Very angry.

Pure panic sends me straight to the biggest, scariest Alpha in the room. “Just pretend you know me,” I whisper to the glowering stranger. He growls something about why I would pick him, and I’m honest: “Because you look like no one would dare mess with you.”

What I don’t expect is his two equally intimidating friends appearing at our side, or the way all three men look at me like they’ve found something they’ve been hunting for.

Now I have a choice: keep running from my nightmare… or stand my ground with men who promise protection.

The problem is, accepting their help might save me from one Alpha’s obsession, but can I protect my heart from three more?

This is a Whispering Grove Novel.
