He met her in Paris. And mistook her for everything. Harlan Ford has always known two things for certain: power is inherited, and loyalty is earned. As a Ford, his life has been mapped out long before he had a say in it—an empire to inherit, a legacy to protect, and a family that plays by rules no one else understands. The only constant he’s ever trusted? Sophia. His best friend. His anchor. The one person who has always been there—steady, loyal, untouchable. Then Brooklyn Whitmoore walked into his life. What started as a fleeting connection in Paris became something consuming. Addictive. Impossible to forget. She made him feel alive in ways he didn’t know he was missing… and for the first time, Harlan wanted something outside the life he was born into. Then she disappeared without a trace, for over a year, and when she returned, she wasn’t his. She was his brother’s fiancée. Maximillian Ford is everything Harlan isn’t—calculated, ruthless, and willing to do whatever it takes to secure his place as heir to the Ford empire. Brooklyn was never just a woman to him. She was strategy. Leverage. A weapon carefully placed in the middle of a war Harlan didn’t even realize he was fighting. Drawn back into Brooklyn’s orbit, he makes one reckless decision that shatters every boundary—betraying his brother, igniting a silent war, and entangling himself in a web of desire, secrets, and consequences he can’t outrun. Because Max is always watching. And Max doesn’t forgive. while he’s busy chasing a love that was never what it seemed, the foundation beneath his life begins to crack. His family turns into enemies, his inheritance becomes a battlefield, and the one person who has always been in his corner— starts slipping away. Sophia. The girl who never asked for anything. The girl who stood by him when no one else did. The girl he only begins to see clearly when he’s already losing her. But by then, the truth is unavoidable. Brooklyn was never the safe choice. Never the right one. And never his. She was the storm. And by the time Harlan realizes it, she’s already torn through everything—his family, his future, and the one love that actually mattered. Now, with betrayal closing in and war brewing within the Ford dynasty, Harlan is forced to face the reality he’s been running from: He was chasing the wrong woman… while risking the only one who was ever truly his. And in a world where power is everything— realizing that too late might cost him more than just love. It might cost him everything.

Rosalind Rivers has only ever wanted one thing. Revenge. The Lycan Prince, Aklan Draven, murdered her brother in cold blood. Or so she’s believed her whole life. Now, forced to serve under him at the Norsen Military Academy, she has no choice but to obey the man she swore to hate. But hating him becomes harder with every clash, every stolen glance, every heartbeat that refuses to stay loyal to her rage. Because fate has a cruel sense of humor. He’s her fated mate. Aklan doesn’t understand why this stubborn, sharp-tongued wolf gets under his skin, or why her scent feels like home. He only knows she’s trouble. The kind that tests his control, drags buried memories to the surface, and makes him question everything he thought he knew about loyalty and guilt. But when a hidden truth comes to light, that Rosalind’s brother didn’t die by Aklan’s hand but by choice, their world begins to unravel. Old wounds reopen. Ancient forces stir. And Rosalind learns she is no ordinary wolf, but something far rarer, something worth killing for. Between vengeance and love, duty and destiny, one wrong move could ignite a war between realms. And the cruelest part? She might just lose her heart to the man she was born to destroy.
