The Golden Jackal (Kinkaid Shifters Book 8)

Petra Haas leads a quiet, predictable life as a London librarian until the sudden inheritance of a sprawling German estate pulls her into a world of shadows. Stepping into the halls of her new castle, she discovers more than just wealth; she finds a workshop brimming with cursed silver and an ominous legacy of dark magic. As ancient, hostile mages converge on the property to reclaim their lost power, Petra refuses to flee, choosing instead to stand her ground against an enemy she barely understands.

Enter Seth Taren, a battle-hardened golden jackal shifter and mercenary who has spent decades hunting dark mages across the globe. His mission is strictly reconnaissance, but the moment he encounters Petra’s fierce, unexpected courage, his primal instincts override his tactical training. He recognizes her as his fated mate, a bond that complicates his duty and shifts his priorities entirely.

As the dark mages tighten their grip and an ancient evil awakens, Seth and Petra are thrust into a high-stakes alliance. Bound by a powerful, simmering connection, they must navigate a dangerous magical war where the only thing more volatile than the encroaching darkness is the heat ignited between them.
