This is not a tale about roses and first kisses. It is a tale of primal lust and irresistible attraction between mates that were never meant to be together. Soon to be eighteen, Seraya will be mated to her childhood sweetheart on her eighteenth birthday and finally be able to trigger her shift. But what if he betrays her and claims another? Seraya is devastated, heartbroken, shunned and abandoned by the pack, perfect prey as she falls into the Drazien's lap. Drazien is everything her childhood lover is not, harder, rougher, older, and much more ruthless. Often called Fenrir's heir, he is the one of the five Lycans that rule the werewolf community from the shadows. His name alone is enough to strike terror in his enemies's hearts. When he is not killing, he is fucking and he never touches virgins. He offers her a contract; a fake mate bond for a month and in exchange, he will trigger her shift and get revenge on the ones that betrayed her. For a month, they must live together, pretend to be in love but in private, the line is clear. Drazien wants nothing to do with virgins so why is it the most difficult thing in the world to keep his hands off this one? Seraya fears her fake mate and his terrible reputation, but she is not prepared for her body's growing need for his touch. All day and night, they are consumed with their desire for one another but Drazien would never fuck a virgin. With every passing day, it becomes harder and harder to resist. She is tormented by the confusing avalanche of lust that could only be quelled by his touch. He can no longer concentrate. In the day, he is tormented by her scent and in the night, he is tormented by her whispered moans when he takes her in his dreams. But Drazien is a man with many enemies and they just found the only weak link in his armor. Threats begin as warnings, and then her life becomes targeted such that it is now a full time job to keep her alive, forcing them even closer. In a month of danger, lust, drama and betrayals, they go through several challenges together and face different threats. Can Drazien keep his oath to abstain from her? Or will she be his undoing? What if the threats are too large to contain? What if he cannot protect her all the time? Step into Seraya and Drazien's world to find out!
