My name is Cora Bennett, and six months ago, I lost my parents, and almost everything that ever mattered to me.
Now Sharon Maxwell has taken over my parents’ company, my boyfriend has made a fool of me, and a shocking secret threatens everything I thought I knew about myself.
But I’m done crying over the life I lost.
I work at Dodo Club now, a nightclub owned by Adam Moretti, a billionaire who may be controlling a mafia gang. I should stay away from him, but somehow, the more our paths cross, the harder it becomes to remember why he’s such a terrible idea.
Adam wants answers. I have secrets of my own. And neither of us seems willing to walk away.
Sharon thinks she’s taken everything from me. She’s wrong.
Watch me take back everything she stole, uncover the truth about my past, and become the one person she should have feared all along. I don’t mind getting involved with the mafia if that’s what it takes. After all, what am I living for if I let Sharon have her way? I don’t think my dead parents would be happy watching me stay quiet while someone else enjoys everything they worked so hard to build.
And Adam Moretti? He might be the most dangerous man I’ve ever met—or the one man capable of bringing me to my knees for reasons I never expected.
Right now, I’m not just fighting for my family’s legacy anymore. I’m fighting for my future, and I refuse to let love become my downfall. But how am I supposed to focus on revenge when I’ve been s*x-starved for so long? I’m not celibate by choice, and it’s not like I’m unattractive or lacking in anything worth a man’s attention
In a world where werewolves live hidden among humans, the supernatural kingdom is governed by ancient laws.
One law stands above all others: an Alpha may never claim a human as his mate.
Humans are considered too fragile to survive the dangers of the werewolf world, and exposing their existence could threaten the entire supernatural kingdom.
But an ancient prophecy tells a different story:
When the blood of the wolf binds itself to the heart of a human, the crown shall either rise forever or fall into darkness.
Nobody knows whether the prophecy promises salvation or destruction.
Until a young woman saves a wounded stranger on a stormy night.
He is Antonio Devereaux, a powerful Alpha bound by laws that have governed his kingdom for centuries.
She is Xena Williams, a human who should never have crossed his path.
Yet fate has a way of defying even the oldest laws.
When Antonio discovers that the woman who saved his life is his fated mate, everything he has ever believed is thrown into question. For the first time, the ruthless Alpha finds himself terrified—not of an enemy or an approaching war, but of losing the woman who has awakened something within him that he thought was lost forever.
Their bond is forbidden, their future uncertain, and the prophecy offers no promise that their union will end in anything but destruction.
If his kingdom discovers the truth, Xena could become a target.
If Antonio sends her away to protect her, he risks losing the only woman who has ever made him feel truly alive.
But what if loving her is the one thing that could save his kingdom?
And what if the woman he is forbidden to claim holds the key to its destruction?
