Mooncrush by Thain Newborne

Step into a world where fate howls, love burns, and freedom is worth fighting for. Kapri Stroud came to Fenris Hollow hoping to escape the noise of her old life. She expected quiet mornings, towering Appalachian forests, and enough solitude to finish the story she came to write. What she never expected was a place where the mountains keep secrets, the trees remember ancient promises, and every full moon awakens something older than history itself. She certainly never expected Jack. Wounded, stubborn, and as dangerous as he is irresistible, Jack is one of the last warriors of the Ashguard Clan—a brotherhood descended from ancient Norse protectors entrusted with a sacred gift unlike any other. Within him lives the Wolf Spirit—not a curse, not a monster, but a divine spirit born of love, courage, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion. It has guarded God's people for generations, waiting for the day it would awaken in someone worthy. The moment Jack meets Kapri, everything begins to change. Every glance steals another piece of her heart. Every laugh chips away at his carefully guarded walls. Every accidental touch ignites a power neither of them can fully understand. What begins with curiosity quickly becomes friendship, playful banter, undeniable chemistry, and a bond that feels as ancient as the mountains themselves. But love has never been easy. Ancient clans are stirring. Forgotten enemies are watching. The forests whisper of a destiny written long before either of them was born. As darkness rises from the shadows and old bloodlines collide, Kapri and Jack must decide whether to trust the impossible connection growing between them—or allow fear, duty, and the past to tear apart the very thing the Wolf Spirit was created to protect. Because some hearts don't simply fall in love. Some hearts were always meant to find each other. Read more
