The strongest bonds can set you free. Noelle Hart can't seem to break free of the guilt caused by her mother's untimely death. She is stuck in the destructive cycle of a toxic relationship, using unhealthy vices to numb her pain, and has been isolated from everyone who cares for her. But that all changes the day her godfather and his four guards appear on her doorstep. Asher, Elijah, Killian, and Remi are elite warriors in the king's Shadow Watch. They have forged a bond that runs so much deeper than their sworn duty to the Nocturne pack. The secrets they share are treasonous and pose a threat to everyone they love, including each other. To further complicate matters, their boss has assigned them the task of protecting his goddaughter, placing her off-limits. But she is a temptation that is hard to resist. Swept into a world she never knew existed, Noelle discovers a web of calculated lies which holds a truth she never expected. As she unwinds each tangled string, she leans on the four shifters for support and finds herself falling for each of them. Together they embark on a journey that has the potential of tearing her apart or bringing her to peace with her past.
