Aria Voss was raised to be sold — to the right family, for the right price, at the right moment. She just never imagined the price would be paid in blood. When her father strikes a secret deal with the Draven line, Aria discovers the "alliance" isn't a marriage — it's a debt older than her family's fortune, owed to something that hasn't been human in centuries. Her only warning comes from Kade, the quiet, golden-eyed servant she's walked past a hundred times without truly seeing. He's not staff. He's not safe. And he's the only one standing between her and a curse that wants her more than it wants her father's money. Forbidden, forced, and impossible to outrun — some bonds aren't chosen. They're branded on you by moonlight. A steamy fated-mates romance of hidden identities, dangerous bargains, and a love neither of them asked for — but neither can escape.
