A dangerous deal. A ruthless husband. And a marriage that was never meant to be real… until he made it very, very real. Vivienne Carter is on the run—from her past, from her mistakes, and from the monster who once called himself her husband. With nowhere left to hide, she turns to the most dangerous man in the city and offers him a deal he can’t refuse. Marry me. Protect me. Own me. Ronan Calloway doesn’t do favors. As the brutal president of the Iron Vultures, his world is built on blood, power, and control. But when Vivienne walks into his life, desperate and reckless, he decides to keep her. His name was on her lips. His ring on her finger. His rules. His bride. The deal was supposed to be simple—no feelings, no complications. But Ronan doesn’t play fair. And when his new wife starts defying him, pushing him, begging for trouble, he decides to teach her what it really means to belong to him. Hard. Deep. Without mercy. Now, Vivienne isn’t just his wife. She’s his obsession. And when he finds out she’s carrying his baby, there’s no turning back. She can fight. She can run. But she’ll never be free. Because Ronan doesn’t share. And he’ll kill anyone who tries to take what’s his.

He rejected her, she kissed a stranger, and now she's wearing the crown beside the wrong alpha. Heartbroken and drunk at the celebration she helped plan, Aria finds herself in Damon's bed. He's the cold, enigmatic heir to the throne, and Aria is nothing short of the beta's ex. She thought it was a mistake. He thought it was fate. But with the coronation looming and no Luna by his side, Damon makes her a tempting offer: a marriage of convenience. He gets his crown. She gets revenge on the beta who broke her heart—Callum. Only, Damon never expected to fall for the girl meant to be his placeholder. And Aria never expected her fake husband to get under her skin, or for Callum to return with a vengeance—and a plan to take down everything Damon holds dear. Lies. Betrayal. Lust. And a contract that binds them tighter than any vow. Will Aria go back to the man who broke her heart, or remain with the man who would ruin everything just to have her?
