Sharonti
For seven years, Felisha Walker lived as a ghost. To escape her tyrannical father, an Alpha King who viewed her purely as a royal breeding pawn to be sold to the highest bidder, she hid in the rain-slicked gutters of Geneva, swallowing toxic black-market suppressants to kill her royal scent.
Then her sanctuary burns, and her father’s extraction teams close in.
With no exit left, Felisha is funneled straight into the high-rise lair of Reymond Smith, the lethal, absolute ruler of the Smith Syndicate. Cold and terrifyingly dominant, Reymond offers a brutal ultimatum: sign a fake mating contract to legitimize his throne against a hostile council takeover, or be handed over to the monsters outside his door.
It was supposed to be a calculated transaction. But Reymond is hiding a dark, devastating secret.
For the first three days of every new month, a violent affliction fractures his mind, driving his inner wolf completely and unstoppably feral. He becomes a mindless, bloodthirsty monster locked in his own fortified Alpine chateau, until Felisha’s chemical suppressants finally fail. When her true royal scent hits the air, it becomes the only anchor capable of tethering his shattered sanity.
To survive his three days of madness, he needs her scent. To keep the beast from tearing the chateau apart, he needs her touch.
The lines of the fake contract completely disintegrate. Reymond doesn’t just protect her; he consumes her space, tracking her every move with an intoxicating, territorial hunger. Forced into dangerous, skin-to-skin proximity to ground his feral mind, the physical tension spirals out of control. What begins as desperate, heavy touches to calm a monster escalates into a raw, all-consuming passion that shatters their boundaries, driving them across the ultimate physical line into deep, undeniable intimacy.
