Summary
To escape her overbearing father, the spirited Shaila, a ‘rabbit’ by lineage, agrees to a political marriage with the legendary ‘Black Wolf’ of the North. But instead of a fearsome warrior, she finds her husband, Callion, to be nothing more than a timid, cream-puff-soft puppy, riddled with social phobia and self-hatred. Far from deterred, Shaila sees past his small stature and vows to nurture the vulnerable duke, showering him with unwavering confidence and affection.
Under her devoted care, the little pup blossoms into a magnificent, formidable wolf. Yet, just as their bond deepens, Callion vanishes, presumed lost to the ravages of war for fifteen long years. Shaila, having retreated to a monastic life, is ill-prepared when her ‘dead’ husband returns—not as the boy she once knew, but as a powerful, adult man with a gaze that promises more than just a reunion. He’s ready for an ‘adult kiss,’ but after years of cloistered living, Shaila knows nothing of such worldly affections. Can this innocent ‘rabbit’ navigate the desires of the magnificent ‘wolf’ she helped create? Discover their extraordinary journey in chapter 1!
