Valerie Sterling is the ruthless Alpha CEO of Sterling Apex Holdings, ruling the city's corporate world with an iron grip. She doesn't need a mate, and she certainly doesn't need another arrogant male Alpha telling her how to run her empire.​Enter Julian Vance—the quiet, ridiculously handsome CEO of Vance Dynamics. To the public, he’s an heir carrying heavy debts after his father's death. But behind his flawless designer suits lies a terrifying secret: Julian is a rare, living hybrid possessing both the bone-crushing physical power of a Lycan True Alpha and the untouchable speed of a Lunar Shadow-Shifter.​When an armed strike team breaches Valerie’s boardroom and an ancient land title surfaces for the city's harbor rights, Valerie and Julian are forced into a high-stakes joint venture. Traitors in the boardroom, shadow syndicates, and toxic synthetic silver won't stop them.​As corporate intrigue turns into open pack warfare, Valerie discovers that the man she swore to break might be the only Alpha strong enough to stand beside her as an equal—and protect her empire at all costs.
