Serana Romano is invisible in her own marriage, abused, silenced, and replaced by the women her husband parades in public. Then her brother-in-law arrives. Cade sees what Matteo never did… and wants what he shouldn’t. He doesn't think of her as weak. Not as replaceable. Not as something to endure. He sees her as temptation. One forbidden touch turns into obsession, and obsession into rebellion. In a world of power, betrayal, and blood ties, loving the wrong man could ruin her. Or finally save her.

“You were mine before you were stolen,” he growls, his eyes burning into Violet’s soul. “And I’ll burn the world to take you back.” Violet was never meant to survive. Born wolfless, enslaved, and mocked as the Alpha King’s plaything, her life has been nothing but torment under his cruel daughter, Mira. Until one reckless night of escape brings her face-to-face with a stranger who changes everything. Alpha Xaden. Feared by all. Desired by none. He has come to claim his fated mate. Everyone believes it’s Mira—the Alpha King’s perfect daughter. But when he rejects her and chooses Violet, the broken slave, the entire kingdom erupts in chaos.
