Ch. 1 free · 12 of 19

Tamsin's fated mate rejects her at the market and chooses her sister instead. Her father barely blinks. That night, he tells her she will marry Alpha Bastian Vey, a scarred wolf everyone fears, to save her sick brother. Tamsin expects a monster. Bastian's hall is cold, his family is cruel, and his Beta watches her like a spy. Then Bastian asks what she wants. No one has ever asked her that. When Bastian learns their mothers died in the same raid, he gives Tamsin a place beside him. At the pack assembly, he names her his partner before everyone and says her grief is his.

Nicolette Vanni spends her days mending vestments in her aunt's religious goods shop and her nights praying for a quiet life. Her aunt and uncle spend money they do not have, then promise her to a crime lord to cover the debt. Dario Malvagi is older, dangerous, and used to taking what he wants. He does not want the shop. He wants Nicolette. He says he has watched her long enough to know she belongs to him, and he offers her guardians a wedding contract in exchange for their lives. Nicolette is devout, afraid, and not meek. She will not give Dario her faith, but her body reacts when he stands too close. Dario will not admit he needs more than her obedience, but he cannot let her go. Can a woman who belongs to no one survive being owned by the most feared man in the city?

“No love,” he says. “No lies,” I answer. Thea Bennett needs to keep her mother’s care running. Warren Shaw needs a wife before a family vote. His offer is exact: a private marriage, a no-love clause, and enough money to make her safe. Thea signs with her eyes open. She keeps her job, her room, and her rules. Warren keeps the power. The marriage is real in law and empty in private. Thea tells herself safety is enough. She does not ask for love. She is less sure she can live without it.

“You ran from me.” “I ran from a contract.” Zara Moreau has spent six months hiding under a false name, opening locks and planning a life no one can sign away. Renzo Bellandi, heir to a crime family, finds her opening his safe and locks her in his penthouse. He says the marriage contract still stands, and he wants the truth she stole. He watches her like she is his. His hands turn gentle when he thinks she is asleep. She wants freedom. He wants revenge. His need for her will start a war.

My future husband, Alistair, shows me off like a prize. He smiles at another woman. Then he tells me to smile too. I tell myself it is fine. It is not. His brother, Rory, is the only one who sees me. He does not grab my arm. He just stays. When my aunt needs help, Rory makes an offer. Marry him for six months. It will save her. It may save me. I tell myself it is just a deal. His calm care feels safe. It also feels like a trap. I will not be a wife on paper. Not even for him.

He chose me to hide his heart. My mark could kill us.The Alpha's Vow Was a Lie

At the Gloamridge Claiming Board, Eden Harker waits for Joss Carey to name her. Instead he names her half-sister Odessa, and the pack laughs while Odessa spills ink on Eden’s dress. Eden hides in the old bell tower and finds a wounded stranger in the storm. Mating heat takes over. By dawn he is gone, and a secret bite burns on her shoulder. The feared Alpha Varek Lorne needs a bride for the council. He chooses Eden. His bargain is cold: she will stand at his side, her sick mother will be cared for, and he will never love her. His aunt and brother give her a warm room. Varek gives her rules. He is still searching for the lost woman he calls his mate. Eden hides the bite that could prove she is more than a contract. If Varek learns the truth, his cold vow may be the least dangerous thing between them.
