“I reject you, Elara Seren.” With those five words, Alpha Kael Voss destroyed me in front of the entire Shadowfang Pack. I was his fated mate. His healer. The girl who loved him before he ever wore the Alpha crown. But to him, I was nothing. Wolfless. Useless. A shame to his bloodline. He chose another woman and threw me into the snow to die. I should have disappeared that night. Instead, I woke up in the arms of a rival Alpha — and discovered the truth Kael’s pack had buried for years. I was never wolfless. I was the last Moonsinger Healer. Now Kael is dying from a curse only I can cure. The pack that mocked me wants me back. The priestess who erased my bloodline wants to cage me. And the Moon has given me one prophecy: Either the Alpha who rejected me dies… or I do.

"For one year, you belong to me, Mrs. Russo. Sleep where I tell you. Smile when I tell you. And never — never, amore — lie to me. I always know." Sienna Ricci signed a one-year marriage contract with the most dangerous mafia king in New York to save her dying sister — five million dollars, one wedding ring, and one simple rule: don't fall in love with him. She should have known. Nothing is ever simple with Don Dante Russo. By the end of her first week, a bullet has shattered the window of her husband's car, a stranger at a hospital has been shot in front of her for whispering a name that isn't hers, and a photograph in her husband's library has started staring back with her own face. Her name is not Sienna Ricci. Her name is Sienna Vitale. She is the last heir of a mafia empire her husband was raised from the age of nine to destroy. The stepmother who raised Dante killed Sienna's mother in a fire twenty-one years ago. The twin brother Sienna didn't know she had has just been sent to kill her. And somewhere under Sienna's grey hospital gown, a small heartbeat is already changing the map of every war in New York. She was supposed to be a contract. She is now — whether Dante likes it or not — his only chance at peace, his only chance at revenge, and the mother of the heir who will decide whether the Russo Famiglia lives or dies. He signed her for a year. She is going to ruin him for life. ⚠️ Contains: dark mafia romance · possessive husband · forced proximity · secret pregnancy · hidden heiress · slow-burn with HEA.
