He destroyed my life. Now he wants me as his mate.

Three years ago, Kade Thornwood-the ruthless alpha of the Silvercrest pack-made a choice that shattered everything I held dear. I swore I'd never forgive him. I certainly never imagined I'd be bound to him in a forced marriage, trapped under the same roof with the wolf who wronged me.

But pack law is absolute. And when a territorial war threatens to tear the werewolf clans apart, our union is the only thing standing between peace and bloodshed. He says it's duty. I know it's a cage.

Kade is everything I should hate: possessive, dominant, and far too certain that this dark werewolf romance will end with me in his bed and his mark on my skin. He thinks he can grovel his way into my heart, that whispered apologies and scorching touches will erase the past.

He's wrong.

But living with an alpha male who refuses to give up-who watches me with wolf-gold eyes like I'm already his-is testing every wall I've built. And when enemies close in, threatening the fragile bond we've forged, I'm forced to choose: cling to my hatred, or trust the wolf who wronged me to be the one who saves me.

This is a spicy werewolf romance for adults featuring enemies-to-lovers steam, a groveling hero determined to earn his second chance, forced proximity that ignites undeniable chemistry, and an alpha werewolf who'll burn the world down before he loses his mate twice.

Perfect for fans of dark werewolf romance, possessive alpha shifters, and forced marriage stories with heart-pounding tension and explosive passion.
