Zara Quinn lost everything in one night, her love, friendship, and trust in people. After being accused of betrayal by her lover, she was left to suffer in this cruel world alone. The real mastermind behind her downfall was her best friend who controlled and twisted the events that ruined everything. Years later, Zara was no longer the broken woman who they all knew. She is now the CEO of Eclipse Heels Enterprise, a corporate luxury footwear brand built from pain, ambition and hunger to thrive. Her world, which was carefully built and controlled, falls apart when Adrian Cole walks back into her life at a high end corporate event and announces his engagement to the same best friend who betrayed her. Mocked but emotionally disciplined, Zara refuses to show vulnerability. Instead, she recognizes an opportunity for “revenge”. When business affairs pushed them into constant collaboration, she entered a strategic alliance with Adrian — not for love… but to repay them ten times the pain she once endured.

Elena Voss grew up believing she was nobody — a low-ranked wolf with no pack standing and a mother who flinched every time the moon rose full. Then Damon Cross, heir to the powerful Crimson Moon Pack, catches her scent at his own coronation and freezes: she's his fated mate. For three stolen months, Elena has something she never had before — a place where she belongs.Then Damon's father forces his hand. To save Crimson Moon from a war it cannot win, Damon must marry Selene Ashford, daughter of an allied Alpha. In front of the entire pack, under the full moon, Damon rejects Elena — the cruelest thing one wolf can do to another. She leaves that night. She doesn't tell him she's carrying his child.Five years later, a new Alpha arrives at the border of Crimson Moon territory to negotiate a land treaty. She goes by Elena Ravenshade now, and she is not the frightened, powerless girl Damon rejected. She commands her own pack. She has scars she doesn't explain. And she has a five-year-old son with Damon's exact grey eyes.Damon's marriage to Selene collapsed years ago — he never stopped searching for the mate he lost. Now Elena is back, powerful and guarded, and Damon has to earn back what his cowardice threw away, while a threat neither of them rejected is closing in: the same enemies who once forced Damon's hand are hunting Elena's hidden bloodline, and this time, they intend to finish what they started.Elena swore she'd never let anyone reject her again. She never planned on being someone Damon couldn't survive losing twice.
