How Long Can I Keep A Rented Book From A Library?

Before the proposal. Before the betrayal. There was five years of waiting. For five years, Sylvia has dreamed of coming home to Ivan, the man who became her anchor after her father’s death. He stepped into the role of protector when the world fell apart, loved her through the distance and gave her every reason to believe they were building a future together. She expects to return to his arms. Instead, she walks in on the love of her life on one knee… proposing to her worst enemy, Pretzel . Humiliated, heartbroken, and stripped of every source of support by Ivan’s powerful father, Sylvia is left with nowhere to turn. Until one impossible option remains: Rent Adrian. A man who comes with a price, a plan, and secrets of his own. What begins as a desperate bargain soon becomes a dangerous game of revenge, deception, and undeniable attraction. But when fake feelings begin to feel real, Sylvia must decide whether to keep fighting for the man she lost or risk everything for the one she never saw coming.

Three years to the day after we sealed our betrothal oath, Keller Blake finally arrived in Silver Fir territory with the bonding gifts that would make our mate bond official. Our people lit the pine-resin braziers, and my parents looked as if a weight they had carried for years had finally lifted. But just as I reached the front door, Keller's attendant came running with a message. Keller had ordered the entire convoy to turn around. He never even came inside. One of Keller's aunts, who had traveled with the convoy, planted herself in front of his truck. "Keller, what kind of betrothal drags on for thirty-six full moons without a marking? The first year, you spent the bonding gifts to ransom your savior's daughter from hunters. The second, you injured a Grey Ridge warrior defending her and used the gifts to pay the damages. What is it this time? Keep this up, and the Halls really will dissolve the oath!" Keller already had the truck door open. His careless reply carried to me on the wind. "Lydia Vaughn's father left her a wolf-fang pendant. It's the only thing she has left of him, and I have to buy it back from the Neutral Zone auction house. As for Evelyn, we've been together since we were pups. A little sweet talk and she'll come around. Everyone in the North knows we're betrothed. She's twenty-six, and I've kept her waiting three years on top of that. Who else would dare take her?" I drew back the foot I had nearly set across the threshold. "The Lunar Council statute is clear. If thirty-six full moons pass and one party still refuses to deliver the promised bonding gifts, the oath is automatically void. I'm a free wolf now. I can choose another mate."

My ex-girlfriend destroyed my entire life on a Tuesday morning. By Tuesday night, I was standing in the rain, saving a stranger from dying on a bridge. That stranger turned out to be her uncle. The most powerful, most dangerous, most cursed man I had ever met. Cursed to die before his fortieth birthday. Just like every other man before him in his bloodline. And somehow... I'm the ONLY person alive who can stop that from happening. There's just one tiny problem— When I tried to save him, I accidentally took his only bottle of longevity serum— The one thing he desperately needs. This man now swears he'll find me.

One bed. One dangerously possessive man. But I just have one problem— I don't think I am straight. *** What happens when the devil himself decides he wants you? You stop running. And you start praying he's gentle. He's not—

And when their secret finds its way back to him, every wall he built comes crashing down. Start reading, you won't put it down.
