Mara Ellison has spent her life hiding in plain sight—until four rival Alpha wolves discover she is their fated mate. They are ordered to arrest her, expose her secret, and deliver her to a court that wants her dead. But Mara is not a helpless human. She is the last heir to a forbidden bloodline capable of breaking every mate bond—and the ancient law holding the wolf world together. As betrayal spreads through the packs and war threatens to expose them all, Mara must choose: trust the four men raised to destroy her, or sever their bond forever. Because the greatest danger isn’t loving her. It’s letting her remember who she truly is.

She married a stranger to save her family. He married a stranger to save his empire. Neither expected to fall in love. Emma Sterling has three days to find a husband—or lose everything. Damian Blackwood has three days to find a wife—or lose his company. Their solution? A marriage contract with one rule: No feelings allowed. But when the good girl intern discovers her cold CEO husband is the mysterious stranger who stole her heart years ago, and the billionaire realizes his fake wife is hiding a secret that could destroy them both, their arrangement becomes a dangerous game of lies, lust, and betrayal. He thinks she's using him. She knows he's hiding something. And someone wants them dead before they discover the truth. One contract. Two secrets. A love that could burn down an empire.
