I always believed love was my safe haven, a quiet corner in the storm of life. Ethan Blake was that haven—until my stepsister, Liana, turned my world upside down. She wasn't just competing for his heart; she was out to destroy mine. With lies sharper than knives and charm as lethal as poison, she stole him from me and made him hers. Now, Ethan is married to her, and I'm left in the shadows, trying to piece together what went wrong. But as I rebuild my life, secrets about their whirlwind marriage begin to surface—secrets that make me wonder if Liana's victory is as secure as she thinks. Because betrayal-based love is a house of cards, and things are beginning to shift. And Ethan's following comments shatter all I believed to be true when he arrives at my door one stormy night, soaked and in need. "Amara, I’ve made a mistake... but it might be too late." What’s too late? To save himself? Or to save me from what’s coming next?

Three years ago, Elara’s world shattered when she discovered her fiancé’s betrayal—a werewolf sent to manipulate her for a power only she possessed. She swore never to trust again, especially not the kind that hides claws beneath charming smiles. Now, she’s thrust into a dangerous alliance with Kieran, the brooding Alpha of the Midnight Howl pack. A contract marriage is his offer, promising her safety and his protection in exchange for her help in his pack’s war. Elara reluctantly agrees, guarding her secrets as fiercely as she guards her heart—secrets that include the two small lives she’s hidden away from the werewolf world. But Kieran is not like Caleb. Beneath his gruff exterior lies a man haunted by his own scars and bound by honor. As their fragile bond deepens, so does the threat from the Silverfang pack, whose ruthless Alpha will stop at nothing to claim what’s his—including Elara’s children. Just when Elara begins to think she might find safety—and even love—in Kieran’s arms, a blood-red moon rises, and her twins reveal a power so terrifying it could destroy them all. Kieran turns to her, his voice raw with disbelief. “Tell me the truth, Elara. Who—or what—are they?” And for the first time, Elara doesn’t know how to answer.
