He teaches by day… and rules the road by night. Fleeing New Orleans was supposed to be Nirvana Hale’s fresh start. She was finally going to meet Adrian Cross; her brother’s best friend and the voice that had comforted her through her darkest nights. But the man waiting for her in New York is a stranger. He’s the lethal enforcer of a notorious motorcycle club, a man who treats her like a burden to be locked away. Just as Nirvana begins to hate the man she once adored, the world shifts again. On her first day at Rodrigo University, she walks into her lecture hall to find Adrian standing at the podium. In a crisp suit and glasses, Professor Cross is composed, brilliant, and completely off-limits. Now, Nirvana is trapped in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. By day, he's the teacher who refuses to look her in the eye. By night, he’s the biker who makes her pulse race. In a world of crime and blood, the most dangerous place for Nirvana to be is under his shadow.

Earlene was born to be a ghost. As the illegitimate, wolfless daughter of a dying kingdom, her only purpose was to stay invisible in the palace shadows. But when the magical shield protecting her home begins to rot, her desperate father makes a deal with the devil. And Alpha Thorne of the North does not bargain. He commands. Feared for a dark, crushing aura that forces werewolves to their knees, he is a lethal warlord with no use for weak alliances. When offered the kingdom's beautiful, legitimate princesses in marriage, he refuses them all. Instead, he demands the terrified, ashen-haired girl hiding in the walls. They offered her as a sacrifice. But when Thorne looks at her, he doesn't see a sacrifice. He sees his mate. Locked away in his freezing Ice Kingdom, Earlene expects cruelty. Instead, she is merely ignored. To protect his fearsome empire and his own primal instincts, Thorne keeps a cold distance. But as Earlene’s fierce defiance at her isolation sparks a dormant, ancient magic in her veins, Thorne's iron control begins to snap. She thought she was a sacrifice. He is about to show her she is a queen.
