Publisher's Synopsis
Forgive Me is an emotionally intense, gripping werewolf novel that delves into themes of redemption, love, and the consequences of betrayal. Set in a world where werewolves are a hidden yet powerful force, the story follows a troubled young woman who is caught between loyalty to her pack and a love that could shatter everything she's ever known. It's a tale of forgiveness-both from others and from oneself-and the price of a second chance.
The story centers around Isla Moore, a fierce and independent young woman who has spent the last few years running from her past. Raised in the heart of the Nightshade Pack, Isla was once a promising member of her pack, training to be a trusted warrior under the guidance of her father, the alpha. But after a tragic event that led to a brutal betrayal, Isla left her family and her pack behind. The guilt of her actions, coupled with her loss, forced Isla to isolate herself from everyone who ever cared for her. She now lives in a quiet town on the outskirts of the werewolf world, far from her old life.
That is, until Ethan Hawke, a former member of her pack and the one person Isla never thought she would see again, appears in her life once more. Ethan is now the new alpha of the Nightshade Pack, having taken the mantle after a fierce battle with rival packs. He is cold, distant, and unrecognizable from the man Isla once loved. The bond they once shared has been fractured, and Ethan's return brings with it a storm of emotions that neither of them is prepared to face.
Ethan has never forgiven Isla for the betrayal she committed during a pivotal moment in the pack's history. The night Isla left was the night the pack was attacked, and her disappearance left them vulnerable and broken. While Isla fled to protect herself, she left Ethan and the pack to bear the consequences of her absence, and many still hold her responsible for the losses they suffered. But beneath the anger and resentment lies the old, lingering love between them-a love that never truly faded, even after all this time.
When Isla is drawn back into the pack's fold due to an impending threat that could destroy everything they've rebuilt, she is forced to confront not only her past actions but the deep wounds she inflicted on Ethan and the others she left behind. The pack's enemies are closing in, and Isla knows that she can't run anymore. But the more she tries to make amends, the more she realizes that some things can never be fully repaired.
As Isla reconnects with the people she abandoned, she uncovers dark secrets that have remained hidden within the pack for years. There are enemies within their own ranks-betrayals that go deeper than her own. Tensions rise as old wounds are reopened, and Isla is forced to face the reality that her actions have consequences far beyond what she could have ever imagined. She wants to make things right, but can she truly earn the forgiveness of those she wronged, including Ethan?
Forgive Me is a journey of healing, not only for Isla but for the entire pack. The tension between Isla and Ethan intensifies as they must work together to protect their family, despite their personal struggles. The love they once shared is complicated by the trust that has been shattered and the mistakes of the past. But as they face the dangers of rogue werewolves and pack betrayals, they begin to realize that the path to redemption is not about erasing the past-it's about confronting it, acknowledging the pain, and choosing to move forward together.
At the heart of this story is the theme of forgiveness. Isla's journey is one of self-atonement, as she battles with her own guilt and longing to make things right. Ethan, too, must come to terms with his own role in their fractured relationship and the pain of being abandoned.
