Ever thought your life couldn't possibly get any worse? That's exactly what I thought too. But one tragic night changed everything for me. I was working in secret as a stripper when my mask slipped during a performance and I went viral for it.

Broke, homeless and desperate, I accepted a one night offer from a stranger believing that maybe, just maybe my life was finally about to change for once. Well it did. But not just in the way I had imagined. I woke up in a stranger's bed with a mating mark burned into my neck. The Alpha who claimed me looked me in the eye and called our bond... A mistake?
