An alpha wolf tired of war.
The human assassin sent to kill him.

Ruby has been wearing the red cloak since she was a child. All she knows is her life as an operative in the Crimson Order.

When she's sent to find a wolf shifter hiding in a cottage, he surprises her by opening the door and inviting her inside.

He knows her code name. He knows her grandmother. He knows too much.

She shouldn't trust him. He's her enemy.

But what if he's telling the truth?

And the wolf wasn't the monster?

A standalone dark fairytale retelling, wolf shifter romance. High heat, full HEA, no cliffhanger.
