All Brielle Taylor wanted was to deliver a late-night cake and keep her dying bakery afloat. What she got was public humiliation at the hands of Damian Sterling, New York’s most powerful billionaire and her worst nightmare. But one reckless night later, her life changes forever. She disappears. He forgets her. Or so she thought... Until he shows up weeks later, demanding answers. Demanding ownership. Now she’s pregnant. He’s offering a contract. Live in his mansion. Carry his child. Obey his rules. She should say no. But someone just burned her bakery to the ground... and Damian may be the only man powerful enough to protect her. Only, his reasons for keeping her close aren’t as noble as they seem. He doesn’t want her heart. Just the baby. But what happens when the coldest man on Wall Street falls for the woman he tried to destroy?

He was meant to choose her sister. But he said Ava’s name instead. During the sacred mate-bonding ceremony, Alpha Kieran Hale makes a mistake that shatters everything, he calls out Ava Sinclair’s name instead of Julia’s, almost binding himself in front of the entire pack to the wrong sister. Now, Ava is thrust into a whirlwind of jealousy, desire, and secrets she never asked for. As Ava fights the forbidden pull between her and the Alpha she was never meant to have, whispers of betrayal stir within the Pack. Julia isn’t one to forgive, and Kieran isn’t one to let go. With a deadly past resurfacing and another Alpha claiming Ava as his rightful mate, she must decide: will she step into the light of power, or be consumed by the shadows of destiny?
