Elara Vance never wanted to be anyone’s secret. But when her father’s death leaves her family drowning in a debt engineered by a corrupt pack elder, she signs an anonymous surrogacy contract to save the people she loves, never expecting to meet the father, let alone fall for him.
Killian Blackwood is the coldest Alpha the Bloodmoon Pack has ever known. Billionaire, workaholic, and utterly convinced that love is a weakness he can’t afford. He agrees to a clinical, faceless surrogacy arrangement to silence a council demanding an heir. He doesn’t expect a stranger’s photograph to wake something in him he thought had died with his parents.
The moment their hands touch, the truth ignites between them. Elara isn’t just carrying his child. She’s his fated mate.
Bound by a contract that forbids them from ever being more than strangers, Killian and Elara fight a bond neither can deny while Elder Silas, the man who destroyed her family, closes in with a plot to expose their secret and seize the pack for himself. As danger tightens around the estate and Elara’s true bloodline begins to surface, Killian must choose between the empire built on control, and the woman who has already claimed the one part of him he swore he’d never give away.
A stolen touch. A forbidden bond. A war neither of them chose.
Can a contract survive a love that was never supposed to happen?
