Maya Adkins never expected her fresh start at Voss Industries to come with complications. She pressed the wrong elevator button, walked through the wrong door — and came face to face with the one thing she swore she would never survive again. A mate bond. Three years ago, her Alpha rejected her in front of the entire pack. She is not worthy. Those four words broke something in Maya that she carefully rebuilt, brick by brick, until she was strong enough to walk away and never look back. Damien Voss has spent thirty-four years building an empire and keeping his wolf under control. Cold. Calculated. Untouchable. He has never lost control of a single variable in his life. Until she walked through his door. Now Maya works twenty floors below him, pretending she felt nothing. And Damien sits in his glass tower, fighting every instinct he was born with — because the one woman the universe chose for him is the one woman determined never to be chosen again. Some bonds cannot be rejected twice.
