Dans la ville côtière ensoleillée de Seaport Blossom, Zara, une fleuriste solitaire, brûle dans le ciel d'une nuit d'été un vœu désespéré : trouver le grand amour. Le lendemain matin, un charmant inconnu nommé Noel entre dans sa boutique, prétendant être son « exauceur de vœux d'été », lié à elle pendant 25 jours seulement pour lui apporter son âme sœur… ou disparaître à jamais. Alors que Noel lui présente des hommes parfaits, Zara se surprend à tomber amoureuse de celui qu'elle ne pourra jamais avoir. Car Noel n'est pas un magicien. Il est le fantôme de l'homme qu'elle a tué dans un accident de voiture, en état d'ivresse, un an plus tôt, la victime dont elle ne se souvient plus du visage, mais dont le nom hante ses cauchemars. À présent, le temps presse et les souvenirs enfouis refont surface. Zara doit affronter une vérité impossible : le seul homme qu'elle ait jamais vraiment aimé est celui qu'elle a détruit… et l'aimer en retour pourrait condamner son âme à un tourment éternel. Un récit poignant de pardon, de secondes chances et d'un amour assez fort pour défier la mort elle-même.

Laurens Leben wurde auf den Kopf gestellt, als ihr erwählter Gefährte von zehn Jahren sie für seine Schicksalsgefährtin verließ. Eine Gefährtin, die ihn einst für einen mächtigeren Alpha abgewiesen hatte. Mit ihrer Rückkehr in ihr Leben wurde Lauren alles genommen und sie blieb mit nichts zurück. Gebrochen und niedergeschlagen ging sie fort, unfähig den verzehrenden Schmerz des Verrats zu ertragen. Die Umstände zwangen sie zur Rückkehr, und sie fand einen unerwarteten Verbündeten in Alpha Sebastian. Ein Mann, der gleichermaßen gefürchtet wie verehrt wurde. Ein König ohne Thron, der sowohl über die Menschen- als auch die Wolfswelt herrschte. Er war außerdem der Erzfeind ihres ehemaligen Gefährten. Ihre Verbindung war ungewöhnlich. Er war zu kalt und sie entsprach nicht seinem Typ. Liebe stand nicht auf ihrer Agenda. Warum durchfuhr sie dann dieses Kribbeln, wenn er sie als seine bezeichnete? Und warum sah er sie an, als wäre sie seine Erlösung? Es stellte sich heraus, dass ihre Feinde ihre geringste Sorge war. Nicht wenn die wahre Gefahr im Feuer lag, das zwischen ihnen entfacht. Das Feuer, das sie in Liebe und Leidenschaft entflammen oder sie zerstören konnte. Hinweis: Dieses Buch ist eine Zwei-in-Eins-Ausgabe.

He calls himself my guardian. But I want him to call me a good girl. I moved in after my mother died. He opened the door — broad chest, deep voice, eyes that stalled when they dropped to my tits. He tried to be decent. Tried to be safe. But I’ve been wet for him since day one. He’s twice my age. Raised my half-sister. Taught her to say “Dad” like it was gospel. But I know what she really wants. I see the way she watches him. The way she watches me when I bend over the kitchen counter, tank top riding up, no bra in sight. This house is full of secrets, soaked sheets, and girls who know better. He pretends not to want it. She pretends she’s not touching herself at night. And me? I leave the door open and let them both fall apart. Because I don’t want to be loved. I want to be used. Ruined. Claimed in every room until they forget who’s the daughter, who’s the guest, and who’s in charge. He raised her. He took me in. But — who’s he going to fuck first?
