Moonlit Debt
When Nadia Mercer discovers her medical debt has been bought by a wolf-shifter pack, she's bound by treaty law to testify for the very guardian who once saved her life—and never told her his brother caused the attack that changed it. Rafe Orlov would rather stay silent than become the violence his pack expects of him, but silence hasn't kept Nadia safe, and it won't keep her now. As tribunal hearings, night patrols, and a controlled full-moon experiment pull them into dangerous proximity, the resonance between them grows every time they risk a costly truth—but it vanishes the moment either one tries to control the other. When Rafe uses the debt contract to lock Nadia out of danger, he breaks the one thing they built by choice. To earn her back, he'll have to destroy his own leverage and stand trial; to earn his trust, she'll have to confess the lie that cost them both. Moonlit Debt is an explicit, emotionally precise wolf-shifter romance about protection without possession, desire without coercion, and a bond that only means something because both of them could have walked away.
