But when she discovers a single strand of blonde hair on Daniel’s scarf, her world begins to crack. Driven by a gnawing sense of betrayal, she spirals into a private investigation that reveals layers of deceit. Daniel is not only cheating with Sophie, but a circle of friends and colleagues have been hiding the truth from her.

She begins her own game of seduction, revenge, and manipulation—entering a dangerous liaison with Lucas, and turning the tables on Daniel and Sophie. But revenge doesn’t come without consequences.

In the glittering, cutthroat world of the Lycan elite, power is bought with blood and secured with contracts. For Lyra, an eighteen-year-old "wolf-less" human from the slums, survival means blending into the background as a night-shift maid at Vance Global's high-rise headquarters.

To save her own skin, Lyra unleashes a burst of raw, untamable magic to shield him—exposing her deadly secret. Xavier is powerful, cursed, and desperate. To secure his position against a hostile board takeover, he needs a docile, human wife who won't trigger his unstable wolf.

King shifted her again, held almost her whole weight on one massive forearm, freeing his other hand to move over her now. His fingers tightened on her cheek as he kissed her, the metal of his rings cool against her flushed skin, then he moved his hand down her body. She arched when he caressed her throat and stroked down slowly. **** Naomi Abbott had it all once: talent, success, momentum.
