Seventeen-year-old Luella Rivers thought her biggest worry was her favourite boy band, until her mother moved her into a new pack, and she became the Alpha’s stepdaughter overnight. All she wanted was her mother's happiness… until she discovered she’d be living under the same roof as the boy who made school life a nightmare: her stepbrother, Asher. Asher had always gotten what he wanted. His words were law, and even before becoming the Alpha, people feared him. Then, Luella came along and challenged everything he stood for. She was rude, stubborn and feisty. He wanted to break her, but fate had other plans. The girl he despised the most is his mate. And the worst part? They are step-siblings. Will they give in to fate or desire? Who will break first?

Lily Spencer hides behind baggy sweaters and keeps her head down in every class. The girls in her dorm make her life hell with daily taunts about her plain looks and quiet voice. Her brother Jax is the star center on the hockey team, loved by everyone, but he cannot always be there to shield her from the cruelty. She sits alone in the cafeteria, walks to class with her eyes on the ground, and cries into her pillow at night wishing she could be stronger. Drake Halloway captains the rival hockey team and hates Jax Spencer with everything in him. Tall and built like he was carved from stone, Drake has dark eyes that miss nothing and a reputation for playing dirty both on and off the ice. When he spots Lily hiding in the stands during a brutal game, he sees an opportunity wrapped in weakness. He approaches her with an offer that sounds too good to refuse. He will train her body, teach her to fight back, help her become the girl no one dares to mock. But his hands linger too long during workouts. His voice drops low when they are alone. His touch awakens something filthy and desperate inside her that she never knew existed. Lily must choose between the brother who protected her and the man who broke her open and rebuilt her into something powerful and dangerous. One wrong move and everything shatters. Love has never cut this deep or risked this much.
