About this book
The future Alpha rejected me in front of the entire pack.
On my eighteenth birthday.
On the night fate chose us.
“It’s nothing against you,” he said. “You’re just not good enough.”
I lost my mate.
My wolf.
My place in the hierarchy.
Six years later, I live small and quiet in the human world—pretending I don’t belong to claws, blood, and power.
Until Atticus Phoenix finds me.
Alpha lion.
Corporate predator.
The most powerful shifter in the country.
When he claims me publicly, he doesn’t just defy the system that discarded me.
He challenges it.
And the men at his side—ruthless, loyal, dangerous—don’t question his decision.
They reinforce it.
Now hunters are circling.
My sister is flaunting her mating to the man who destroyed me.
And they’re all about to learn what happens when the woman they cast aside becomes the most protected female in the country.
They said I wasn’t good enough.
They were wrong.
And the men who chose me are about to prove it.
Death Is Easy is Book 1 in the completed three-book Second Chances trilogy.
Expect rejected mates, second-chance fated bonds, a devastating slow-burn reverse harem, ruthless alpha protectors, deadly enemies… and a broken heroine who refuses to stay prey.

It’s my opinion and I don’t mind if you disagree. Great story. Emotionally engaging with heartbreaking moments, I was invested right from the start. The author wrote a heartfelt story that rang true. It felt as though my own trauma was being presented right in front of me and the explanations for the emotions that were triggered were exactly as they should be - no shame to be had. Beautifully executed. )

This is an excellent read. Not just for the unfolding plot lines, but for the sheer raw take on mental health. As someone who has had to deal with many a mental health battle, this was a balm for me and my soul. And this is only book 1. This is a ride. A well thought ride. There are some very minute editorial issues. But the intricate weave of the mental health crisis throughout, its effects on both MC and supporting roles, and the harsh realities life can be filled with…it is stellar. The...

Never have I felt more validated for struggling with my own mental health. Nora struggles with depression in a way that is so relatable you just know the author had to have experienced it herself. I’ve never read a book that encompasses the thoughts behind suicidal ideation and depression so well and realistically. It is very different to read a book including mental health from an author who has experienced it personally and one who hasn’t and this author has and it shows. I cried so much but...
