Seven hundred years into the future, humanity discovered the existence of werewolves. After an ill-fated war because of that, humans and werewolves finally settled on a truce. Ten tribute brides would be sent every year from then on to the wolf realm for peace to reign. Meadow was never amongst the women selected to go but thanks to her ex-boyfriend, she now is. As a runaway engineer wanted by the human government for her dangerous technology, she coincidentally takes the place of the last bride, hoping to lay low long enough to escape her pursuers. Entering a new realm with no humans to chase after her, it should have been the perfect hideout. That is, until the crown prince of the werewolves publicly announces that she is his fated mate blessed by the moon goddess herself. Suddenly the secretive engineer with a foul mouth finds herself in the forefront of werewolf politics with everyone watching her. After she tries to run away when brought into public eye, the crown prince, Rhaevan gives her one offer she cannot refuse. One year. Stay by his side and play the dutiful mate for one year, and when the portal opens up for the next batch of tribute brides, he'll help her escape. That should be easy for her. Only, pretending to be his mate means living with him, playing house, and fighting off an attraction neither of them want to acknowledge. Plus, the annoying bastard has made it his life’s mission to find out what she's hiding, since he doesn't trust women. As the government back in her world start to close in on her on one end, and danger rises from the werewolf realm, Meadow is forced to ask one question: What happens when the Imposter Bride becomes the very thing the crown prince refuses to give away?
