Heat and Heart - A Scent of Moon and Madness, #2

He broke her heart. She will burn his world.

Five years ago, Dante Black rejected Eva Highwater in the most despicable way—after his wolf had already claimed hers. The rejection shattered her life and bound her to the torment of an incomplete mate bond.

In a fit of jealousy, her wolf strikes out, leaving Eva with blood on her hands and her life at the judgment of the Prime 10 Council.

Her only hope lies with the Lycan King, the only wolf with the power to sever a fated mate bond. But his condition may be a price too high to pay: a Mating Trial with the very Alpha who destroyed her.

Stripped of choice, defiance is her only lifeline. To earn her freedom, Eva must endure the Trial without surrendering to the bond's pull, her heat, or Dante's dangerous temptation.

But once at Black Valley, Eva is drawn into a pack steeped in secrets that all point toward Dante's dark past. She must decide if the truth she craves is worth the cost of exposing her heart—and risking her freedom.

Heat and Heart is the second book in the A Scent of Moon and Madness series, a sweeping paranormal romantasy where Council politics collide with fated mate bonds, and where heat has the power to sway hearts.

Set in a richly layered modern world ruled by ancient traditions, sacred bloodlines, two species of wolves, and a Lycan King who governs them all, this saga blends primal heat, heart-wrenching devotion, and political intrigue into one.

With over 130,000 words of immersive world-building and emotional depth, this story continues the legacy begun in Claims and Curses, where every choice carries the weight of destiny.

Join Eva, Genesis and the daughters of Crystal Moon in a six-book saga that redefines what it means to love, lead, and survive in a world ruled by fate and shadowed by the Crystal Moon Curse.
