"I don't care what it takes, get her to sign." Mia Reyes, size 18 and tired of always being the sensible one, only wants a job. Instead, one wrong door at Aldridge Hill lands her in the middle of a secret the family will do almost anything to protect—and a contract marriage to Nathaniel Cole, the reclusive billionaire nobody has seen in years. Except the man in her bed isn't Nathaniel. He calls himself Damian. He's guarded, infuriating, and far too interested in her for a marriage that was supposed to be nothing more than paperwork. As their fake marriage starts feeling dangerously real, Mia's cheating sister circles back into her life. But Sofia isn't the only problem. Someone inside Aldridge Hill has been watching Mia from the beginning. And when the truth about her husband finally comes out, Mia has to decide whether the lie between them is something she can forgive or the one thing she can't survive.

Auren Smith thought being rejected by the man she loved was the worst thing that could happen to her. She was wrong. After Dylan Blackwood rejects her, Auren is traded to the Northern Kingdom as part of a political alliance. Her new husband-to-be is Alpha King Gene Sinclair—a ruthless king who never asked for a bride and wants nothing to do with her. Neither of them expects the attraction but when someone tries to kill Auren, Gene discovers something impossible: his dying wolf grows stronger whenever she is near. Then Auren finds a 200-year-old portrait of a woman who looks exactly like her and then she is caught in a conspiracy surrounding Gene's father's murder. She discovers she is the last heir of the First Wolves, the ancient bloodline behind the supernatural bonds controlling the Seven Territories. And someone will kill to keep that bloodline buried especially when Auren discovers the one bond she cannot break... The one tying her to Gene.
