Nova
He made my life hell. Now fate says he's my forever.
Kira Bennett spent six years surviving Xavier Sterling's cruelty—the richest boy in school who never let her forget she was trailer trash. His words carved scars deeper than any blade, driving her to hurt herself just to feel something she could control.
The day she turned eighteen, she ran. Built a new life. Became someone who didn't flinch at her own reflection.
Three years later, one drugged drink at a company gala throws her back into Xavier's arms—literally. She wakes up in his penthouse to discover the moon goddess has a twisted sense of humor: they're fated mates.
But that's not even the worst part.
When Kira finally agrees to meet her reformed, newly-married mother, she walks into a nightmare. Her mother's husband? Xavier's father. Her childhood tormentor is now her stepbrother.
Fired from her job and facing homelessness, Kira has no choice but to move into the Sterling mansion. Sixty days, she tells herself. Two months of avoiding Xavier, ignoring the mate bond burning between them, and pretending his apologies can somehow erase six years of trauma.
But Xavier refuses to reject their bond. And when he kisses her in that kitchen, her body betrays everything her mind knows to be true: some scars run too deep for destiny to heal.
He says he's changed. She says sorry isn't enough. The mate bond says they don't get a choice.
A dark wolf shifter romance about confronting your past when fate won't let you run from it.
