Shifted TruthsA Willow's Haven Novel

She came to escape the past. He’s hiding what he is. But magic doesn’t care about secrets.

I came to Willow’s Haven to heal—to pretend I’m just a girl who works in a bakery, not the one who found her mother’s body covered in blood. Not the one who was hunted. Not the one who still wakes up screaming.

This town is supposed to be safe. No predator shifters. No wolves.

But then I met Jake Walker.

He’s quiet. Kind. Steady in a way that calms the storm in my chest. I want to trust him—need to—but something about him doesn’t sit right. His aura hums too loud. His presence feels like teeth hiding behind a smile.

And the worst part? My soul keeps reaching for him like it already belongs.

Jake
In a town that hates predators, I’ve learned to hide what I am. Keep my head down. Stay quiet. Don’t shift, don’t snap, don’t get caught.

Then Sarah Miller showed up.

Soft-spoken. Haunted. Prey. Every instinct I’ve got tells me to keep my distance—but she feels like gravity. Her magic brushes mine and it nearly drops me to my knees. I know what she’s survived. I know she has every reason to run from someone like me.

So I keep my secret. I hold back the hunger.

But every day I spend near her, it gets harder to pretend I’m not already hers.
