After being forced to go to rogue wolf territory to exchange my mate's kidnapped childhood sweetheart while three months pregnant, I was tortured to death. Before my death, my eight-year-old daughter begged her father three times. The first time, my daughter took her father's hand and said, "Daddy, mommy is pregnant with my little brother. She can't go to the rogue territory." The alpha wolf let out a cold laugh: "How dare your mother teach a pup to lie." Then he had his beta guards drive my daughter out of the pack house. The second time, my daughter grabbed his sleeve and told him the rogue wolves were torturing me with silver. The alpha frowned: "These rogues were hired by your mother to kidnap Willow. How could she really be tortured?" The guards stepped forward and once again pulled my daughter out of the room. The third time, my daughter lay on the floor, desperately clutching his pant leg, crying that I was dying in the rogue wolf territory. The alpha finally lost his temper. He slapped her away with force. "I told you, Ava won't die. She's strong. If you come running back here to disturb Willow's rest again, I'll definitely throw both of you out of the pack territory." To save me, my daughter gave her most precious possession to the most powerful warrior in the pack—the healing gemstone I had given her for her birthday. "Please, can you use this to help save my mother? I don't need protection anymore. I just want my mother to live." The warrior took her healing gemstone, but before he could leave to rescue me, Willow stepped in his way. "Sorry, little pup," she smirked. "The warrior needs to stay here to protect my dog. Your father was afraid I would be sad if anything happened to my pet."

“Young lady, you need to control yourself. I don’t know what’s come over you, but I’m here to take care of you strictly as your doctor. I’m a dermatologist, and you have an allergy. So, please… stick to the plan.” Those were the firm, detached words of Dr. Nolan—one of the most famous dermatologists in all of Texas. His tone was calm, his eyes unreadable, his face hidden behind a face mask, he was nonchalant and couldn’t care less about her or mess with his patients. But for Aria, a 23-year-old who had never been in love, never even been kissed, the moment she stepped into his office her world shifted. One look at his tall figure, one brush of his deep voice, and her breath caught in her chest. Even without seeing his full face, she knew he was devastatingly handsome. For the first time in her life, her heart beat faster for a man. The test ended. The prescriptions were written. Aria gathered her courage and asked, “Can I have your contact?” His rejection was swift. Cold. “That won’t be possible.” Her heart sank as she walked out of the hospital, his indifference and cold voice pressing against her skin. But then her lips curved into a quiet, determined smile. “I will make you fall for me, Doctor.” And so begins the story of Aria and the nonchalant Dr. Nolan, a story of obsession, rejection, and irresistible temptation.
