At twenty-two, Aria Vale has only one goal—to destroy the man who murdered her family. For five years, she has lived under a false name, hiding the secret that could bring an entire supernatural kingdom to its knees: Aria is the last descendant of an ancient bloodline capable of controlling both wolves and magic. Then Damon Blackwood finds her. He is the ruthless Alpha of the Blackwood Pack, feared by wolves and humans alike. He is also the heir to the mafia empire responsible for her family's downfall. Aria hates him. Damon knows it. Yet when an ancient bond chooses them as mates, Damon forces Aria into a marriage meant to protect them both from a mysterious enemy hunting their bloodlines. Their marriage begins as a war. Every conversation becomes a battle. Every touch becomes a temptation. And every secret brings them closer to a truth neither of them is prepared to face. Because Damon didn't kill Aria's family. Someone wanted her to believe he did. And the closer Aria gets to the truth, the more she realizes the greatest danger may not be the man she hates... but the love she was never supposed to feel.
