Evelyn Carter never imagined her best friend would betray her in the worst possible way—by marrying Damian Hayes, the man who destroyed her family. She swore she would never forgive either of them. But when a scandal drags Evelyn into Damian's world, she finds herself trapped beside the arrogant lawyer she has spent years hating. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the man beneath the mask—and the dangerous attraction growing between them. Then, the truth comes out. The betrayal she built her life around was based on a lie. Now Evelyn must choose between the revenge she has always wanted and the man she never expected to love.

When twenty-six-year-old theatre teacher Isla Hart slips into a rain-slicked taxi in London, she thinks the worst of her week is over. She doesn't expect the driver to hand her a card and the number of the city's most notorious magnate: Alexander Vale, a billionaire, private, untouchable, and whispered about in the same breath as boardroom conquests and family secrets.Alexander offers an impossible contract: spend a year in his world, nights in penthouses, private galleries, and country houses, where every desire is answered and every boundary is tested. In return, he asks only for time: That period of time , to prove that what binds them is more than appetite. Isla, stubborn, fiercely independent and quietly curious, signs because she wants to choose on her own terms. What begins as a calculated arrangement becomes a dangerous study in chemistry, power, and the fragile line between surrender and consent.

She was born without the mark that crowns queens, yet fate branded her soul with something far more dangerous: the impossible bond to the alpha who was never meant to want her. When Kael arrives to claim the marked Luna and secure his bloodline, one stolen glance awakens a feral hunger neither can deny. Torn between sworn loyalty to the only sister who ever showed her kindness and the brutal desire that threatens to consume them both, Fin must choose: protect the crown Bella deserves or surrender to the monster whose touch ignites her unmarked skin. One forbidden night of raw passion. One ancient claim sealed in shadows. And a deadly dawn duel where love will either rise from the frost or bleed out beneath the rising sun.
