“Look at me.” My breath caught as his fingers tilted my chin upward. “You started this, freckles,” Asher murmured, his voice low and dangerous. “Now don’t pretend you don’t want it.” “I don’t,” I shot back, even as my heart betrayed me. His mouth curved into a slow smile. “Then why are you still standing here?” ********************** Hazel Bell thought she had her life perfectly planned. Graduate at the top of her class. Keep her scholarship. Stay far away from campus drama. Dating Nick Warren—the golden boy of the football team and heir to one of the most powerful packs on campus—was supposed to be the closest Hazel ever got to chaos. Until she walks in on him cheating. Humiliated and heartbroken, Hazel makes a reckless decision she’ll regret for the rest of her life. She kisses Asher James. The star quarterback. Nick’s biggest rival. And the most dangerous wolf on campus. What starts as a moment of revenge quickly spirals into something much bigger. A fake relationship meant to drive Nick insane. But the more time Hazel spends with Asher, the more confusing everything becomes. Because beneath his cocky grin and playboy reputation lies a man far more intelligent—and far more dangerous—than anyone realizes. And Asher seems determined to keep Hazel exactly where she is. Right by his side. But the football rivalry is only the beginning. When new rules threaten her place at the university, Hazel finds herself dragged into a dangerous game of power, loyalty, and pride. Falling for the star quarterback was never part of the plan. But surviving everything that comes after might be even harder.

"This isn't supposed to happen," I whisper, my voice soft. "You shouldn't be here." "Do you want me to leave?" I should say no, but I don't. "Elias-" He steps closer, his lips ghosting over mine. "Tell me to go, Isadora. Tell me to leave." I don't. Instead, I kiss him. ******************** After being used and rejected by the Alpha of her pack, Isadora is left for dead in a river with only her thoughts for revenge as an anchor. Fate decides to give her a second chance, and she is rescued by Elias Hawthorne- the elusive lycan Alpha. Isadora never expected to be mated to an Alpha, much less Elias. And Elias never expected to be mated to a girl from the pack he plans to destroy. Neither of them wants to be mated, but their mutual need for revenge brings them together, However, they soon find that the mating bond is not so easy to ignore
