Burning Phoenix by K. M. Bell

Charlie
Hiding isn’t what I’d call living.
For the last four years, I’ve felt trapped between the life I want to live and the one I should’ve lived. My past has broken me, creating a shell of the woman I once was. Until Jackson. My fated mate who’s willing to save me from the truth that can destroy this town. Despite every belief, I hold of never being loved again. I can’t deny the natural pull that binds me to him. Giving him the power of destruction over my heart will be something I’ll never recover from.

Jackson
The weight of truth sits heavily on my shoulders. I can’t escape my past and the pain it’ll bring to those I love, but when my brother calls, I have no choice. Returning to Solaris to take over as Alpha is a fate I’ve always known was inevitable, a responsibility I’ve always dreaded.

That is until her. Charlie has changed everything. The future is brighter with her in it. Now, nothing will stop me from claiming my seat and my girl.
