Cassian shattered her after one reckless night, leaving only memories and the echo of his touch. Now he wants her back into his world, to wear his name, and fight a war beside him. Three months ago, Aria Ravenwood walked in with pastries and dreams. She left with a broken heart, after finding the man she loved in bed with someone else, and not even with a woman. One betrayal. One party. One spiked drink that dragged her into the darkest night of her life… and into the arms of the cold, commanding and addictive Cassian Wolfe. They shared a single night; reckless, raw, unforgettable. By morning, he was gone. Now he’s back. Not with apologies, but a contract. One year. One marriage. No love. No lies. Only vengeance wrapped in silk and whispered promises. Aria says yes not for love, but for power. To reclaim what was stolen. To burn every bridge and make them all regret ever crossing her. But Cassian Wolfe isn’t just a weapon… he’s a storm. And every kiss, every touch, every look threatens to turn revenge into surrender. Because the real game isn’t survival. It’s learning how to win… When your heart is the first thing you’re willing to sacrifice.

Les femmes le désirent, même celles qui ne devraient pas. Épouses fidèles, fiancées modèles, célibataires endurcies : toutes cèdent, un jour ou l’autre, à son jeu de séduction. Mais derrière ses sourires et ses conquêtes, se cache un homme que personne ne semble vraiment connaître. Jusqu’au jour où une femme différente entre dans sa vie. Une femme qu’il ne peut pas séduire. Une femme qui, sans le vouloir, va changer les règles du jeu. Dans un monde où les apparences règnent, où la tentation est reine, Léo devra choisir entre poursuivre l’illusion… ou affronter ce qu’il fuit depuis toujours : aimer pour de vrai.

Sejak kecil, hidupnya dibentuk oleh kehilangan dan pengabaian. Ia dilahirkan dari seorang ibu yang mati dalam cinta yang tidak membahagiakan, dan seorang ayah yang menolaknya hanya karena ia perempuan. Terabaikan oleh ibu, terluka oleh ayah, ia tumbuh dengan keyakinan bahwa perasaan adalah kemewahan yang tidak dimiliki orang sepertinya. Ia dibesarkan oleh nenek dari pihak ibu—seorang perempuan tua yang lembut dan penyayang—yang mengajarkannya untuk tetap menjadi manusia, meski dunia tidak pernah adil. Dari kehidupan keras itulah ia belajar membaca keadaan, memahami orang, dan mengasah kecerdasannya secara diam-diam. Bukan lewat sekolah, melainkan dari lingkungan, percakapan, dan pengamatan yang tajam. Ketika ia bekerja sebagai pelayan di rumah seorang bangsawan muda, ia membawa prinsip sederhana: tidak berharap, tidak melanggar batas, dan tidak jatuh cinta. Ia sadar sepenuhnya akan rendahnya posisi sosialnya. Ia dingin bukan karena tak punya hati, melainkan karena terlalu memahami risiko. Namun ketenangan dan kecerdasannya justru mengusik sang tuan—seorang pewaris bangsawan yang terikat adat, kuasa, dan rencana pernikahan politik. Hubungan mereka tumbuh perlahan, berjarak, dan penuh rintangan. Bukan kisah cinta yang gegabah, melainkan pertarungan batin antara realitas sosial dan perasaan yang tak pernah diminta. Di tengah intrik istana, gosip, hukuman, dan rahasia masa lalu yang perlahan terbuka, ia dipaksa menghadapi pilihan berat: tetap bertahan sebagai perempuan yang aman dalam keterbatasan, atau mempertaruhkan dirinya pada cinta yang mungkin—atau mungkin tidak—akan menghormatinya sebagai setara.

The day my adopted sister Xina was diagnosed with a rare blood disease, I was captured by rival pack hunters and taken across pack territories. In a hidden den beneath the mountains, I was chained like an omega during the day and subjected to endless humiliation. At night, they locked me in a moonless chamber and extracted my blood and bone marrow while I was conscious. By the time my pack found me, my body was broken beyond recognition, covered in bite marks, and infected with numerous diseases that even our supernatural healing couldn't combat. My mother, Alpha Serena, looked at me barely clinging to life, and howled so painfully she collapsed several times. My brother Ivan even traveled beyond our ancestral lands to find healers who could treat me. But in my half-conscious state, I accidentally overheard their conversation: "Mother, we captured Lisa just to save Xina, and let her be violated by so many rogues. Now we're taking one of her kidneys too—isn't that going to kill her?" Mother was silent for a long time, then choked up and said: "For Xina, I had no choice." "Besides, Lisa challenged Xina's rank all these years, made her severely depressed. This is just me atoning to Xina on her behalf." "It doesn't matter if she's been tainted. From now on, we'll keep her in the packhouse and take care of her. That'll count as compensation." As the silver blade sliced into my body, tears streamed uncontrollably from my eyes. A den with four wolves... was simply too crowded.

Leona Klaus consented to save her family from their debt and become the sacrificial bride to the infamous king and alpha of the Vulterion Kingdom, Kalix Amari. But a night before her wedding day, Leona secretly went to a brothel to have an affair with a random man and exact revenge on her family by exposing them to the Vulterions that she was impure. It has been common knowledge in the Kingdom that the alpha king of Vulterion only takes a woman to his bed once, leaving Leona destined to be cast aside after their wedding night, especially when the alpha king learns that she’s no longer a virgin. And yet, after their first encounter, the alpha king's intense desire for Leona baffled everyone as he continued to crave her in bed almost every night.
