The Broken Mark - A Wolf Shifter Romance #994858

His bond did not fail.

It was stolen.

Ryker has carried the broken mark for six years, a half-formed crescent burned into his skin on the night fate began to choose him, then went silent. Since then, he has served Blackridge with loyalty, restraint, and a wound no one can see.

Then Vera arrives at Blackridge under a false identity.
She claims to be a neutral archive courier. Calm. Controlled. Unreadable. But Ryker knows a lie when he sees one, and the moment she steps into the hall, his broken mark burns for the first time in years.

Vera was raised by Oryn’s hidden elder faction to believe bonds are dangerous, love is weakness, and obedience is safety. Her mission is simple: recover a damaged solstice record before Isla can decode it.

But the record is not the only thing damaged.
Vera carries the other half of Ryker’s broken mark.
As suspicion turns to forced alliance and desire sharpens into dangerous truth, Ryker and Vera uncover a secret buried beneath years of faction lies: their bond was never rejected. It was interrupted.

Now the same faction that broke them wants to use their marks again, and Vera must choose between the cage that raised her and the wolf who refuses to claim her unless she chooses him freely.
Dark, emotional, and atmospheric, The Broken Mark is Book 2 in The Solstice Wolves Series, an adult paranormal wolf shifter romance featuring a wounded warrior, a faction-raised heroine, secret identity, forced proximity, forbidden bond magic, and a stolen mate connection that refuses to stay broken.
