Glory built her company from nothing. Six years of early mornings, late nights, and deals made in rooms where no one thought an Omega belonged. She fed three packs. She kept the lights on for hundreds of families. She did all of it while Jude stood beside her and called himself her partner. Then a courier knocked on her door. The merger documents listed her as a minor stakeholder. Forty-nine percent of her own company, and nobody told her. Worse, buried inside the legal pages was proof that Jude had rejected their mate bond months ago through a pack law loophole she never knew existed. He did not even say sorry to her face. He let a paper do it. Now she has to walk into a boardroom and sit across from Thaddeus, Jude's cousin, the most feared Alpha in the territory, the man whose company is about to swallow everything she built. She expects a predator. She does not expect the way his eyes lock onto her the moment she enters the room. She does not expect him to kill the merger in under five minutes. And she absolutely does not expect to discover that the anonymous figure who has been secretly funding Omega rights reform for two years is the same man now watching her like she is the only thing in the room worth looking at. Glory has spent her whole life fighting. She just did not know the biggest fight was about to become the greatest love story the pack world has ever seen. Forty-Nine Percent is a 200,000-word second chance paranormal romance about a woman who reclaims her power, a man who recognizes her worth before she reclaims it herself, and a pack world that will never be the same again.

The security footage showed the intruder breaking into Evelyn Hartwell's server room at three seventeen in the morning. She had six hours to save everything before her board discovered the truth: their CEO had been living a double life. By day, Evelyn runs Hartwell Technologies, the billion-dollar company her father died protecting. By night, she is Eden Vale, the anonymous founder of NexusTech, the startup that has been stealing clients from Julian Cross for eighteen months. If anyone connects both identities, she loses everything. Then the blackmail photo arrives. Evelyn in her Eden Vale disguise, entering the NexusTech building. The message is simple: marry Julian Cross or the photo goes public. Julian Cross, the ruthless billionaire they call the Vulture, has spent two years trying to destroy Hartwell Technologies. He blames Evelyn's father for his own father's suicide twenty years ago, and he wants revenge. When the board forces Evelyn into a contract marriage with her worst enemy, she knows it is a trap. Julian will use the marriage to access her father's private files and find the evidence he needs to dismantle everything she loves. But Julian has secrets too. Someone is blackmailing him with fabricated evidence of embezzlement, and marrying into Evelyn's legacy company is the only way to stop them. He needs access to her father's files, not to prove Vincent Hartwell guilty, but to discover who really killed his father. Because Matthew Cross did not commit suicide. He was murdered. As Evelyn and Julian play their dangerous game of deception, fighting by day and surrendering to forbidden attraction by night, they begin uncovering a conspiracy that goes back twenty years. Someone close to both of them orchestrated everything. The bankruptcies. The deaths. The hatred that turned two best friends into enemies and their children into weapons. Then Julian finds Evelyn's laptop and sees the Eden Vale files. The woman he married is the competitor who has been sabotaging him, and his fury is absolute. He exposes her double identity to the world, serves her divorce papers, and destroys both her companies in one brutal move. Evelyn runs, pregnant with his child and shattered by his betrayal. But what neither of them knows is that the real villain is still playing them both, and the endgame is approaching fast. Two years later, Julian finally discovers the truth. The evidence against Evelyn was planted. His father's suicide was murder. And the woman he destroyed was innocent. Now he must become the man he should have been: not the Vulture, but the protector. Not the destroyer, but the healer. Winning back Evelyn will require sacrificing everything he built on lies. Saving her life will require trusting the woman he ruined. And proving his love will require the one thing Julian Cross never learned how to give: forgiveness for himself and faith in second chances.
