Selene's 20th birthday should have been a celebration. Instead, she discovers her boyfriend’s evil betrayal, falls prey to her stepsister’s twisted schemes…and wakes up beside a dangerously cold stranger with eyes like ice. Prince Lucian of the Lycan Kingdom is used to losing everything: his throne, his fated mate, the only woman he ever trusted. But when he meets Selene—an outcast with no wolf and no scent—he mistakes her unique perfume for his betrothed’s and claims her in a night of passion he can’t forget. Now Selene is pregnant with Lucian’s heir, sold off by her own family to hide her shame, and rescued only by the man she barely knows. Thrust into the glittering, ruthless world of royal politics, Selene must find her strength, uncover her secret bloodline…and prove that true power comes from the heart.

I was forced to marry the man who helped destroy my family. And somehow, I fell for him. Sofia Ricci knows two things: blood is never just blood... and love can’t survive in a world like theirs. Her marriage to Nikolai Volkov was never meant to be anything more than a ceasefire between rival empires. But lies don’t stay buried, and hearts don’t stay cold. Secrets. Betrayals. A child she never expected. A war she didn’t start, but one she might have to finish. And when the past claws its way back from the grave, Sofia must choose: Her blood, or her heart. Her empire, or her freedom. The man she was raised to hate... or the one she can’t stop loving.
