I've spent ten years lying for the king—until Garrett Albright storms into Sunspire Court with proof that could end us both. Now the golden diplomat who was supposed to be my target has me pinned against a council door, whispering that he'll keep my secrets... for a price. Every stolen kiss is blackmail dressed as desire, but the real danger isn't losing my throne—it's realizing the man sent to destroy me is the only one who's ever truly seen past the spymaster to the woman beneath.

I woke up in a stranger's bed with a burning bite on my neck and the massive black wolf that dragged me from my wrecked Jeep standing over me—only now he's a man. Andrei Moriarty, the ruthless alpha fifteen years older than me, says I'm his fated mate and an ancient curse will kill us both if I reject the bond. Every touch makes me want to shift and submit, but his 'protection' feels a lot like a prison... especially when rival packs start hunting me for my rare bloodline. Do I run from the man who stole my freedom, or surrender to the one who's already claimed my soul?
