Do you feel stuck, numb, or unable to start—while still functioning on the outside? You’re showing up. You’re doing what needs to be done. But something essential has gone quiet. You stare at tasks and can’t begin. Emotions feel distant—or don’t arrive at all. You sleep, but never feel restored. You move through life feeling slightly disconnected from it. This isn’t laziness. It isn’t a lack of discipline. It’s called functional freeze—a nervous system state that keeps you safe by shutting things down when stress has gone too far for too long. Your nervous system isn’t broken. It adapted.

Perhaps you know what it is like to be safe and still feel unsafe. A neutral message makes your stomach drop. Someone becomes quiet, and your mind searches for what you did wrong. You want to set a boundary, but your throat tightens as if saying no could cost you everything. Later, you may understand the trigger. But understanding afterward does not always give you choice in the moment. This gap can create shame. You may call yourself too sensitive, needy, or broken. You are not broken. Your nervous system protects you before conscious thought.

My intentions weren't just to bartend, but to gather intel on the lone wolf who owns the place. Instead, I found myself in much deeper with the wolves of Crescent Valley than I'd ever imagined. They're working with dangerous humans who know about our secret world, and it could put all shifters at risk. Making matters worse, my feelings start to grow for my new boss, who has the weight of a secret on his shoulders - a psycho who is obsessed with me but melts my heart, and a mysterious fighter who has something to prove. I've lived my life in a bubble, but that bubble is about to burst.

Do you shut down during difficult conversations? Freeze when you know what to say? Feel anxious over small things, people-please until exhausted, or struggle to relax when everything seems fine? Maybe you have spent years trying to understand yourself. You may have explored anxiety, trauma, attachment, emotional triggers, therapy, journaling, meditation, podcasts, or self-help. Some of it may have helped, but in the moment, it can still feel as though your body takes over. You are not broken. Your nervous system has been doing what it was designed to do: protect you.

He thinks I broke his heart. What he doesn't know is that he crushed mine. I'm Sarah Kirk, and this is my story. Ten years ago, I left Wildflower Canyon with my reputation in shreds and Cade Mercer's hatred in my rearview mirror. He believed I betrayed him. I couldn't defend myself—not when...

All I wanted was to find answers to who I was. No one knew who had abandoned the gray-eyed baby with fiery red hair and a cry loud enough to make a man's nuts retract. I moved to Arbor Falls to find myself. Little did I know I'd be thrown into a world I didn't know existed. A world with wolves at each other's throats and enough pack politics and danger to make my head spin. Then there's the fact that I have more than one mate. Not all of them accept me because there's one gigantic problem: I'm not what they expected.

When you're one of the few female coaches in the NHL, hooking up with players is firmly on the "don't even think about it" list. So naturally, as a woman who enjoys herself way too often, I did just that. A charity gala, two men, and enough champagne to fill the Stanley Cup later... here I am, staring at a positive pregnancy test and questioning every life choice that led to this moment. Did I mention that last part? Because yeah, I'm pregnant. And the father could be either one of them.
