Because behind the charm and luxury is a man terrified of being truly known. And the deeper Sienna falls into his world, the harder it becomes to protect her heart from the chaos surrounding him. He was supposed to be a temporary mistake. Instead, he became her greatest temptation. And she might ruin herself loving him.

Sterling Vane owns half the skyline and all the headlines. Women fall over themselves for one look from him. Ivy Calloway just wants him to stop dripping mop water on her clean floor. She doesn't recognize him. She doesn't care to. She has a mother in a hospital bed and a job to finish before sunrise, and the rude man in the expensive coat is standing between her and both. He is used to being wanted. He is not used to being ignored. When Ivy accidentally costs him the one thing money can't buy him back, his pride, Sterling decides the fastest way to fix it is to own her attention completely. A fake arrangement. A public face. A woman on his arm who is not supposed to actually want him there. The problem is neither of them planned on this working.

Mate. I froze mid-step, Venom has never said that word before. I've suddenly forgotten the Rogues I was chasing, my whole attention now on the emotions I was feeling. My vision sharpened, focusing on the faint sound of labored breathing just ahead. My heart hammered in my chest as I walked closer, the bond pulling me forward with an urgency I hadn’t felt in decades. The first thing I saw was her hair, a messy dark bun with strands of white, unusual yet unique. She sat curled up against the base of an old tree, arms wrapped tightly around her knees, shoulders trembling. Her thin, tattered sweater barely shielding her from the cold air. She looked... fragile, a word I never thought I’d associate with my mate. Ariel’s life has been anything but easy. Orphaned as a child and left in the care of a cruel stepfather and stepbrother, she’s endured years of emotional and physical abuse. Despite her circumstances, she’s always felt something stirring beneath the surface—an unexplained restlessness, vivid dreams of running under the moonlight, and a deep connection to the forest around her. Zayn, the alpha of the Shadowcrest pack, has spent years searching for his fated mate, the one who would complete him and stand by his side to no avail…he had finally given up on ever finding her. His pack thrives under his leadership, but his heart has grown weary, doubting the Moon Goddess’s promise of a mate. When a chance encounter leads him to Ariel, he’s stunned to discover that the fragile, broken girl is his destined partner—and more than that, she’s a wolf completely unaware of her true nature.

His songs were better when he had a broken heart. That sentence would change my life after my dream job was dished to me on a shiny, silver platter. All I had to do? Hurt Nash Pierce enough to get him writing good music again. The pop icon’s songs were no longer the phenomena they used to be. His team needed another breakthrough album—like the first he’d penned, using his heartbreak as fuel. The plan was simple: I’d go on tour with him as a backup dancer…and make him fall in love with me. I was hired to inspire—to become embedded into every lyric he wrote. Then, I was to set fire to it all—to destroy every feeling we hoped he’d develop for me. It seemed simple enough. Easy, even. I didn’t expect to be consumed myself—to see so much in the man displayed in the tabloids. I didn’t foresee falling for him. It didn’t occur to me that, while attempting to break his heart, I might just shatter my own. Most of all, I never thought I’d fight so hard to hold on to a relationship that had always been founded on goodbye.

For two years, I cleaned his floors and swallowed his insults. He was Lucien Ashford, Crestmont's most famous playboy. I was the maid he called "the help." Then one stormy night, I woke up in his bed. In his body. With his girlfriend whispering, "Good morning, darling." And down in the basement, the arrogant billionaire woke up in mine. Now I have his closet, his credit cards, and a line of women who think I am him. He has my mop, my tiny room, and my entire list of chores. We have to fix this before anyone finds out. I swore I would never fall for a man like him. But when I see his loneliness from the inside, and he sees my life from the inside, the lines between hate and love begin to blur.
