She wanted revenge on her cheating fiancé. Instead, she ended up in the arms of the one man she should have feared. The night before her wedding, Violet discovered her fiancé in bed with her best friend. Heartbroken and furious, she made one reckless decision: she would give him a taste of his own medicine. One night. One stranger. One mistake she could never undo. Violet never expected the mysterious man she'd spent the night with to be King Hades, the ruthless Lycan King and sworn enemy of her kind. But the moment she discovered the truth, it was already too late. He had marked her as his. To Violet, it was a mistake between strangers. To Hades, it was a claim he had no intention of abandoning.

He wanted Violet as his bride, and he wasn't about to let her walk away from the bond that tied them together. Violet had only wanted revenge on the man who betrayed her. Now, she's caught between a broken past and a dangerous king who refuses to let her go. Will she become the Lycan King's greatest weakness, or will being marked by him destroy everything she has left?

I thought I was about to become my boyfriend’s wife. Instead, I became the woman he tried to destroy. On his birthday, I discovered that the man I’d loved for years had a little plan to get rid of me. Drug me, frame me with another man and marry the wealthy heiress his family wanted. Cute, right?

Because falling for my ex’s stepbrother, the infertile man whose child I'm carrying? That could destroy us all.
