Chloe spent three long years chasing Liam’s heart, only to be met with rejection while he fixed his attention on Serena. Hurt, drained, and trapped in a love that never came back to her, she sends him away through the shifter exchange. What waits next is Ethan, a white lion shifter whose kindness gives her the care Liam never did. And when Liam returns with regret, Chloe refuses to be pulled back into the same pain—she walks toward a love that is finally real.
