Corvus grabbed my jaw, his fingers dug into my cheeks, and my lungs squeezed at his choking aura."I will never marry you, Miss Shepherd. And if you dare come near me again, I'll slit your throat." He growled, and my stomach dropped.It wasn't a threat; it was a promise.~•~•~•~•~•A messy, drugged one-night stand gave Zuri Shepherd the marriage she desperately needed—only to discover her husband was a monster. Corvus Vane, the alpha of Bloodhound pack, was a terrifying beast from her nightmares. A cruel and emotionless predator feared by his kind.To each other, they were inconvenient tools.He needed her body to manage his curse. She needed his blood for the perfect revenge.But her soul craved every bit of that beast. She needed his intoxicating lips, his seductive touch, and his sinful body over hers while he brought her pleasure in a way no beast should.Now she's torn between her burning desire and her duty to fulfil. Will she lose herself to the passion or use it against him? Will she damn their souls this time?

"I said, what if I want to spend unnecessarily on you and your daughter?" Sebastian whispered, placing his hand on the small of my back and drawing me closer to himself. My breath hitched, my blood catching fire the moment my body hit his and my toes curled. His eyes pierced into mine as if they were searching my soul, wanting to see past all my guards and defences. "What if I want to spoil you? What if I want to give you everything you want? What if I want to make sure you don't lack anything you ever desired? What if I want to place the world at your feet? Will you let me, Aurora?" ~~~~ Divorced and disowned on the same day, I simply decided to end my life. But I didn't think I'd save a man from doing the same, nor did I expect him to give me a reason to live.  Five years later, my life hasn't gotten better. I'm drowning in debt and trying so hard to give my daughter a healthy life, but it's not enough.  Everything appears to be grim until the enigmatic billionaire Sebastian Warners unexpectedly enters my life and offers me everything I want on a silver platter for nearly nothing.  Why?  Why is a stranger so insistent on helping me?And what will I do when the past I had frantically tried to bury reappears?  Can true love, in which I had lost all hope, save the day, or will my entire life go up in flames again?
