One More Time

Running from her past was supposed to be simple. Roxie Ryder fled to Howling Falls for one reason: to disappear. No pack politics. No expectations. Just wine, dogs, and keeping her head down. It works perfectly until a man dies at the town's annual Mushroom Jubilee, and everyone is looking to her for answers she shouldn't have. The sheriff calls it an accident. The town whispers about werewolves. Roxie's nose screams poison and careful planning. When the local ranger asks her to trust her "intuition," she faces a dangerous choice: stay invisible and let a killer walk free, or step into the spotlight and risk everything. Something stalks the festival grounds­­-but not what the panicked crowds believe. Someone watches from the shadows, far more dangerous than any monster. With a terrified stray as her only witness and her mentor demanding she accept a leadership role she's spent years avoided. The killer is patient. Methodical. Two steps ahead. Every secret Roxie uncovers pulls her deeper into a web she may not survive. In Howling Falls, the most dangerous predators wear human faces, and the ones we trust can be the deadliest of all. Will she accept the pack she's found and unmask a murderer? Or will running one more time mean there's nowhere left to hide?
