Author Comfort

She died to escape him only to wake up in a body that would crave him in ways she could not understand. Lucia Rivers survives a brutal accident with no memory of who she used to be, only fragments of dreams that feel too real to ignore. A girl crying. A forced marriage. A faceless Alpha waiting in the shadows. In her new life at Crescent Vale University she finally tastes something she has never known before. Freedom. Love. Choice. But beneath her curiosity and quiet intelligence is a body that responds too easily to dominance, to control, to the kind of dark hunger she cannot explain. Then she meets Professor Kairo Vane. Brilliant and dangerously composed, he is the kind of man people do not question. The kind of man who takes what he wants without ever raising his voice. One look from him unravels her. One touch has her burning. What begins as innocent academic attention quickly spirals into something consuming and forbidden. Stolen moments become secret encounters. His control becomes her addiction. He teaches her how to want, how to surrender, how to fall apart beneath him. And just when she gives him everything, he destroys her with a single lie. But Lucia is not just a girl who fell too hard. When the blood moon rises her true nature awakens, and with it comes a past she once chose to escape. She is the bride who died rather than marry him. She is the mate he has been searching for all along. Now desire collides with destiny as enemies close in, loyalties are tested, and the truth threatens to tear everything apart. Lucia must decide if she will run from the bond that once terrified her or embrace the Alpha who now refuses to let her go. Because this time he knows exactly who she is. And this time he intends to claim her completely.
