BLURB For Brianna, the world ended the night the smoke swallowed her sister’s screams; the night she emerged from the flames with a shattered heart, a dormant wolf, and the bitter taste of betrayal. She lost her wealth, her family, and the boy who once promised to protect her from the monsters under her bed. Now, the monster has returned. Draven Hayes—the Alpha’s illegitimate son and the boy who walked away while her life turned to ash—is back. He’s no longer the childhood sweetheart who stole fruit from neighbors; he’s a cold, dangerously intense man who stares at her like she’s a disease he needs to eradicate. Despite the years of silence and the blood on their hands, the mate bond still screams between them, an electric pull that neither can escape. Draven claims he did what he had to do. Brianna knows he’s the reason she’s haunted by ghosts. In a world where the powerful play by different rules, Brianna is forced into the lion's den of the Alpha Manor. She’s looking for a way out, but Draven is looking for a way back in—even if he has to burn what’s left of her world to do it.
