As the social season begins, the Everleigh family steps into the spotlight, hiding the truth behind their perfect smiles. While her sisters chase advantageous matches, Esther Everleigh watches, listens, and refuses to play by the same rules. But when a dangerous man takes an interest in her, what was once a careful game begins to spiral into something far more unpredictable.
After helping an injured fighter on a night she was never meant to be part of, Esther realizes he hasn’t left her life—he’s everywhere. And the closer he gets, the harder it becomes to ignore the danger… or what she’s starting to feel.
Warned to stay away from the human world, Esther keeps returning to the forest, drawn to a hunter she should have never crossed paths with. As she watches him in secret and interferes more than she should, something begins to change—and what started as curiosity may put everything at risk.
