“I Made a Proposal.” “Thank you for the offer,” she said between clenched teeth, “but I won’t warm your bed.” I shook my head. “You don’t have to share my bed, Miss Hunter. In fact, I’d much prefer we keep separate bedrooms. I’ve just lost my mate—I can’t… I don’t want… That is, what I’m proposing is a marriage of convenience. We can help each other. I’ll give you my name so people can stop yapping about what happened between you and the alpha’s brat. No more pity. No more gossip. And I’ll share whatever I have, Miss Hunter, though it’s a humble offer. I’ll make sure you’re taken care of. In return, you keep the house and do the things a mother should do for the child.” The alpha’s son thought he would humiliate me in front of everyone by rejecting me—but I turned the tables on him. I rejected him first. Now I’m paying the price for embarrassing the alpha. I’ve been kicked out of my family home, and I can’t get a job. My life looks bleak and hopeless… until a tall, dark, and handsome stranger shows up at the tavern with a small boy at his side. The newly widowed Jareth makes an insane proposal: a fake marriage. I get a home and the protection of his name. He gets a live-in babysitter for his kid. But he doesn’t know I’m no ordinary she-wolf… and something tells me Jareth is hiding something too.

To save my sister, I sold myself to a monster. When Elara was chosen for a contracted mating, I stepped in without hesitation—binding my fate to Kaelen McKnight, the ruthless new Alpha of the Night Rising pack. Cold, ambitious, and utterly merciless, he was everything I swore I would never belong to. I expected a life of submission. What I walked into was something far more dangerous. Because Kaelen isn’t the one truly in control. That power belongs to Julian McKnight—his stepfather. A man whispered about in fear. A man broken by the death of his fated mate… and slowly unraveling ever since. But the moment I step into his presence, something impossible happens. His darkness calls to me. And my blood answers. Now I’m trapped between two Alphas—one I’m bound to, and one I can’t resist. And in a pack built on secrets, desire might be the deadliest betrayal of all.
