Let’s see how far you get.” Elizabeth’s world shatters the moment her mother marries the one creature she’s feared her entire life—a vampire. Worse, it’s him. The monster who tore her father apart and vanished into the night. She swore she’d expose Damien for what he is, break whatever dark spell he’s cast over her mother, and burn his world to the ground. But nothing could’ve prepared her for him—dangerous, devastating, and sinfully charming. Because Damien isn’t just a monster. He’s temptation wrapped in shadows. And hating him was easy—until he made her want him.

Lyra Vale was never meant to be seen until the night her world shattered. Her father was found in blood while she watched her mother being attacked by ferals. Her life instantly collapsed, and the only refuge left was the last place she belonged… in the arms of Alpha Kael Draven. The moment he saw her, the bond snapped into place. “Mate.” But instead of claiming her, he rejected her because he believed she was wolfless. Trapped in a territory where she was unwanted and unprotected, Lyra became the center of something far more dangerous than rejection. As enemies closed in and secrets unraveled, Lyra discovered the truth: She was never weak. She was never wolfless. And the Alpha who cast her aside may have just rejected the most powerful Luna alive.

Vespera gave up everything for Randell Sterling. She buried her brilliance, hid her beauty behind thick frames and baggy clothes, and played the role of the obedient, invisible housewife. She thought her devotion would eventually melt the ice in his eyes. She was wrong. For five years, she was nothing more than a glorified nanny to their son and a convenient ornament for his public image. But the illusion of her marriage shatters the day she walks into Randell’s office to surprise him—only to find him with his "executive assistant," Caroline. The betrayal cuts deep, but the fatal blow comes from her own flesh and blood. When Vespera reaches for her five-year-old son, the boy she nearly died birthing pushes her away and runs into the mistress’s arms. "I don't want you! I want Mommy Caroline!" Broken, discarded, and replaced, Vespera signs the divorce papers and vanishes. Three years later, the tech world is on its knees for a ghost known only as 'V'—the elusive director of a multi-billion dollar startup.

Instead, he walks into a boardroom and faces a woman who stops his heart. The glasses are gone. The timid girl is dead. In her place stands a stunning, ruthless queen with a new man by her side—Randell’s sworn business rival. "Hello, Mr. Sterling," Vespera smirks, clicking a pen that could cost more than his car. "Price just went up. Double."
