They laughed at the bookkeeper. Then the will gave her everything — and one year to survive it. Mara Voss signed the Rinaldi family's real ledgers for eight years while everyone saw an invisible accountant. Now the don's recorder names her heir to a criminal empire — if his three lethal sons can swear her their queen within a year. The eldest wants her managed. The middle wants her gone. The youngest knew her name before she spoke it. And someone at the funeral is already planning hers. They think they're auditing her. She's auditing them.

A $247,000 hospital bill. A fiancé who threw me away. And a stranger who offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. I wake up in a billionaire's hotel room with no memory of the night before. Nine months? I might already be carrying his child. Dominic Kane needs a wife for one year to secure his empire. I need money to save my dying sister. We sign a contract. Simple. Clinical. Temporary. But nothing about this man is simple. He's cold. Powerful. Dangerous. And the way he looks at me in the dark makes me forget every rule he set. Rule one: don't fall in love. I'm already breaking it. But the real danger isn't the contract. It's the secret behind that night — a secret involving his father, my ex-fiancé, and a scheme that could destroy us both. The deeper I dig, the more I realize: everyone has been lying to me. The man I married. The man I loved before him. The man who might be my child's real father. And the truth? It's worse than anything I imagined.

My husband threw me out in the rain the same week I found out my dead brother owed a biker gang forty thousand dollars. Now I'm working off his debt at the one place I never wanted to set foot in — a garage owned by the Sons of Hollow Creek, where the club's next leader looks at me like I'm something worth saving, and warns me, in the same breath, not to trust anyone else in this club. Including, maybe, himself. Cain Reyes was the last person seen near my brother's car the night it crashed. The cops called it an accident. I believed them — until new evidence proves someone cut the brake line on purpose. Now I'm trapped between a club boss offering to erase my debt if I marry the man I'm falling for, and a truth that gets darker every time I get close to it. Someone in this club murdered my brother. Someone has been lying to me since the day I walked in. And the man I want to trust most might be the one with the most to hide. I should run. I can't stop reaching for him instead.

Two years of lying got Jude Vance onto the ice. One heat cycle might cost him everything. In a league where Omegas are legally barred from elite hockey, Jude has spent two years hiding what he is — suppressant patches, cold showers, constant vigilance — just to skate for Brentwood University beside team captain Ace Cole, the untouchable Alpha every program in the country wants to dethrone. What starts as Jude's mission to take Ace's title becomes something far more dangerous: an undeniable bond, a father's decades-old betrayal, and a teammate who's found exactly the leverage he needs to destroy them both. When Jude's heat ignites the night before the championship and there's nowhere left to hide it, Ace doesn't walk away. He claims him — right as the one person who could end them both walks through the door with a camera already rolling.

Six Secrets. One Devastating Truth. Zero Escape. One heartbroken night. One reckless stranger. One decision that changed everything. Three years ago, Sloane Carter walked into a Chicago bar to forget the man who destroyed her. She walked out carrying a secret that would define the rest of her life — six of them, actually. Because the devastatingly handsome stranger she gave herself to that night didn't just break through her walls. He left her with sextuplets she's been raising alone, loving fiercely, and hiding from the world ever since. She never got his name. She never needed to. Until now. When a desperate job search lands Sloane inside PIERCE Tower — Chicago's most powerful corporation — she comes face to face with the one man she never thought she'd see again. Declan Pierce. Billionaire. CEO. Ruthless. Magnetic. And the father of her six children, who have his jaw, his eyes, and absolutely no idea he exists. Now Sloane is trapped — forty-two floors up, steps from his office, dodging his questions, outrunning his memory, and fighting a pull between them that three years and six babies haven't dulled one single degree. Declan Pierce didn't build an empire by missing details. And the more time she spends in his orbit, the more she can feel him circling the truth — patient, dangerous, inevitable. She has one rule: he cannot find out. He has one certainty: he's seen her before. And somewhere between the boardroom power plays, the jealous relatives, and six toddlers who look exactly like their father — the clock is running out on the biggest secret in Chicago. Because Declan Pierce never loses. And he's already decided that Sloane Carter is something he's not willing to let go. The only question is what happens when he finds out why.

On Mating Night, Sloane lost her boyfriend, her dignity, and her last reason to stay. By morning, she'd gained a secret that could cost her everything. A stranger found her in the dark. He chased off the rogues circling her, pulled her close like she already belonged to him, and left a mark on her neck that healedover in three days — invisible to everyone except the people who wanted to use it against her. She never saw his face. He never learned her name. Now Sloane is being handed — without a choice, without a voice — to the most feared Alpha in the region. Caden doesn't do warmth. He doesn't do mercy. What he does do is quietly, obsessively search for the woman he marked under the Mating Moon and lost before sunrise. The woman whose bond went silent in a way he's never encountered. The woman his wolf refuses to stop pacing over. The cruelest joke the universe has ever told is the one currently unfolding at Harlow Hall — where a man who is hunting for his fated mate is about to agree to marry her without knowing it. Sloane is wolf-less, marked, betrayed, and cornered. She has nothing left to bargain with and nowhere left to run. Except — she does have one thing. The truth. And when it finally surfaces, it won't just change their arrangement. It will crack Caden's entire world open. She was never supposed to survive this far. He was never supposed to feel this much. And now that fate has put them in the same room — neither of them is walking away unchanged. Betrayal. Survival. A bond that refuses to be ignored. This is the story you'll stay up until 3AM reading — and feel absolutely no regret about.
