LOGINHillary Gate had it all: wealth, prestige, and a future mapped straight to the top of the legal world. Until everything collapsed. Her parents are sent to prison. Her education is ripped away. And one reckless night leaves her pregnant for Lester Dale, the Alpha King of the Crescent Pack. Lester is a rare and powerful breed of wolf, bound by duty and legacy, and unaware of the devastation he leaves behind. Nine years later, Hillary rises from ruin to become a renowned lawyer. Fate, or cruelty, throws her back into Lester’s path inside a courtroom. But while Hillary remembers everything, Lester remembers nothing. Drawn to her, Lester demands a secret relationship. When she refuses, he threatens to expose her secret—never realizing he is the very reason it exists. When the truth finally surfaces, will Lester fight for redemption, or power? And can Hillary forgive the man who shattered her life, especially when he holds her past, her present, and her heart in his hands?
