I had the ring. I had the plan. I had everything ready for the perfect Christmas Eve proposal until I found my boyfriend tangled up with another woman outside his office, shattering every dream I'd built around us.They say heartbreak makes you do crazy things. For me, it meant sliding that engagement ring onto a stranger's hand and asking him to marry me instead. One impulsive moment. One gorgeous, cold-eyed stranger who just happened to be walking out of the building at exactly the wrong or right time.I expected him to laugh. To walk away. To let me pretend the whole humiliating night never happened.He didn't.Alpha Tristan claimed he accepted my proposal. Worse, he's my ex's boss, and apparently, my fated mate, though my wolf's been too broken to tell me. Now he's refusing to let me go, no matter how hard I try to run. When our fathers turn out to be sworn enemies, I think I've found my escape route.But Tristan doesn't back down. Not when they demand, we break our engagement. Not when my father arranges a marriage to someone else. And definitely not when I channel all my confusion into destroying my ex piece by piece with Tristan's help, of course.He's possessive, infuriating, and dangerously persistent. He's also the only man who's ever fought for me instead of breaking me. As the walls around my heart begin to crumble, I'm terrified of one truth: what if the man I proposed to as revenge becomes the only man I'll ever truly want?But in a world of pack politics, old rivalries, and enemies lurking in the shadows, wanting him might cost me everything, including my life.
