Left behind by Xavier on a deadly mission, Elara stops waiting for someone who already chose to abandon her. She makes a new choice in Aziel, an unwelcome snake shifter, and gets Kade, his twin brother, as part of the same deal. People laugh at her decision—until both brothers awaken as rare SSS-Class shifters. Then the balance shifts: her ex wants her back, her sister covets her mates, and Aziel and Kade make their answer clear by never betraying Elara’s heart.
