Ten years ago, the Calloways and the Vanes were closer than family, until a betrayal nobody explained tore them apart overnight. Now Wren Calloway's father is drowning in debt, and the only thing standing between Calloway Textiles and total collapse is a single clause buried in a merger agreement: marry Sebastian Vane, the ruthless CEO who's spent a decade building an empire out of pure spite, or lose everything. Sebastian doesn't do soft. He doesn't do forgiveness. And he definitely doesn't do weddings that aren't hostile takeovers with a ring attached. But his younger brother Rhys, the boy Wren fell for the summer before everything fell apart, is back in town. And he never stopped loving her either. Ninety days. Two brothers. One impossible choice. And a decade of secrets buried deep enough to burn everything down the moment they surface. She said yes to the merger. She never said yes to falling for the wrong Vane brother, or maybe, the right one.

Clara Vance is a human silver-smith keeping a low profile with a jewelry workshop in Lekki, but her quiet life is completely shattered when Malik, the Alpha's younger brother, stumbles into her shop dying from a rare poisoned silver blade. Relying on her secret ancestral smithing skills, Clara saves his life, bringing her face-to-face with Alpha Tariq—the commanding, rigid leader of the Crescent Crest pack who controls the city's shipping lines at the Tin Can Island port. With a high-level traitor operating inside Tariq's council, he forces Clara into his high-security estate under the cover story of being his personal artisan to keep her safe. As they work late nights tracing illegal weapon shipments, an intense romantic tension builds between them. But when his trusted Beta, Marcus, launches a violent coup to seize control of Lagos, Clara and Tariq are forced into a corner where they must unlock an ancient subterranean forge, triggering a rare fated bond to survive and reclaim their territory.
