Mira Delgado has one rule: don't get attached to things she can't keep.She works the diner shift nobody wants, tutors kids twice as rich and half as sharp as her, and keeps her eyes on one goal — the envelope in her sock drawer labeled COLLEGE. She doesn't have time for boys. She definitely doesn't have time for rich boys.Then two of the wealthiest families in Ashcombe call her — separately, secretly — to tutor their sons through the one subject standing between them and the Lumen Scholars Competition, a scholarship so prestigious it could change a life. Mira walks in expecting one arrogant heir.She gets two. Forced onto the same team. Who can't stand each other.Ezra Cole is ice — controlled, cutting, and used to being obeyed. Julian Voss is fire — golden, charming, and used to being adored. Their fathers built an empire together, then tore it apart, and raised their sons to finish the war they started.Mira just wants to get paid and get out.Instead, she becomes the one thing neither boy expected: the person who sees past the money, the legacy, and the armor — straight to the boys underneath. And somewhere between midnight study sessions and a competition that could make or break both their futures, she stops being their tutor and starts being the one thing they're both willing to lose everything for.Now Mira has to figure out which boy she's falling for — before the choice is made for her, and before it costs her the one family she has left.

On the night before she is sold as a substitute bride, Mira Thorne wants one thing that belongs only to her.She finds it at the Harrowgate Moon Festival: a masked stranger with a rough voice and steady hands, who looks at the curves her family begs her to hide as if they are the only thing in the room worth seeing. No names. No promises. One night that makes her feel wanted for the first time in her life. She slips away before dawn, because by sunrise she belongs to someone else.Then the veil lifts at the altar.The stranger is Alpha Kaelen Draven, the cold, scarred ruler of Blackmoon Pack and the man her slim, golden sister was supposed to marry.

Now he has the wrong bride, a Council that calls her a fraud and a breeder, and a treaty that demands an heir within one year or the alliance dies.Kaelen trusts no one, least of all a woman who walked out of his bed before sunrise. Mira trusts no one who has ever called her "convenient." But their wolves recognized each other the moment they met, and neither of them can stop it.As Mira fights for a place in a pack that despises her, she uncovers a poisoned well, a Council full of secrets, and a power in her own blood that nobody was ever meant to find. Kaelen is hiding a secret of his own, one that could cost him his wolf, his pack, and the only woman who has ever looked at him without fear.She was sent as a substitute. She was never the replacement.
