Mara Voss doesn’t believe in fated mates. As a Hollow—a wolf who lost hers years ago—she makes a living helping women escape the very bonds everyone else calls sacred. Then Cassian Vale walks into her office. Billionaire. Apex Alpha. Unmated. And desperate enough to offer her fifty million dollars to pretend to be his mate. Mara is the perfect choice. Hollows can’t form mate bonds. Until she touches him. Cassian’s wolf recognizes her instantly. Mate. There’s only one problem. Mara feels nothing. No pull. No bond. No instinct telling her she belongs to him. But the closer they get, the more impossible the truth becomes—because ten years ago, before Mara ever met Cassian, her dying wolf already knew his name. And her final warning was simple: Don’t let him find us. Cassian has spent his life believing fate would one day give him what was his. Mara is about to teach him something far more dangerous. Love means nothing if she was never free to say no.
