SUMMARY - _The Duke of Greythorn__Period. Hidden wolves. Age gap. Fated mates._Sebastian Greythorn, 29, returns to England after years abroad to claim his title and duty as Duke of Greythorn, Alpha of the Blackthorn Pack. The world knows him as a cold, scarred duke. Only his servants know the truth: his entire household and the lands he rules are a hidden society of werewolves.His father is dead. The pack needs an heir. Sebastian intends to choose a suitable wife for duty alone and keep his heart locked away. He believes himself a monster unfit for love.Eliza Marlowe is the fourth daughter of six, with three elder sisters above her. She lives on the poor hill farms her family has worked for generations. Human, naive, and untouched by the ton. She cares for her sisters and father, delivers village babies, and carries herself with a duchess’s posture she was never taught. She wants only security for her family. Love feels like a luxury she cannot afford, especially with three sisters still unmarried before her.Their first meeting happens when Sebastian’s carriage sinks in the mud near Eliza’s home. He steps down to investigate and finds her wrestling a sheep in the rain. She doesn’t bow. She doesn’t fear him. And her scent hits his wolf like a prayer he never dared speak.He came back to take a title and find a political bride. He did not come back to lose his sanity to a farm girl with fire in her eyes.But his wolf has already decided: _Mine. The heir-bearer. Mine._
