Sapphire Dee
Mia Hale is a young wolf-clan woman born without a wolf spirit. Although she lacks the enhanced senses and strength of her kind, she possesses a rare healing ability that she has vowed to use to help others. With this dream in mind, she studies nursing at Lycan Academy, where she meets her boyfriend, Liam Carter, and falls deeply in love with him.
When Liam’s business is on the brink of collapse and his lifelong dream is at risk, he discovers that only a fingerprint-locked contract belonging to the feared high-rank tycoon and CEO, Kai Voss, can save him. Knowing Mia’s lack of a wolf spirit makes her less likely to trigger Kai’s security system, Liam manipulates her into sneaking into Kai’s villa to steal his fingerprints.
What should have been a simple in-and-out operation takes an unexpected turn when the fated mate bond activates, revealing that Mia is Kai’s mate.
Unable to reconcile the fact that his mate was caught stealing from him, Kai concludes that Mia is a spy sent by his rivals. He confines her to his villa while secretly announcing her as his fiancée, determined to lure the mastermind behind her into the open.
Unaware that the boyfriend she risked everything for has been using her from the beginning, Mia finds herself trapped between the man she loves and the powerful mate who refuses to let her go. As Kai’s suspicions clash with the undeniable pull of their mate bond, Mia’s life is about to change in ways neither of them could have imagined.
