Le premier amour de mon compagnon, Sarah Blackwood, et moi avions chacune un fils de huit ans. Le fils de Sarah a tué un loup innocent. Au lieu de le livrer à la justice de la meute, mon compagnon m'a demandé que notre propre enfant prenne la responsabilité du crime. « Marcus ne passera que cinq ans dans la Prison d'Argent », m'a-t-il grogné. « Sarah et Jamie n'ont aucune protection — l'exil les tuerait tous les deux ! Notre fils est assez fort pour survivre à ça ! » Pendant qu'il les a envoyés à l'étranger pour fuir la justice, les gardes de ses parents ont traîné notre petit innocent en prison. Quand Ryan est revenu… j'avais déjà disparu.

Je suis piégée, piégée dans un lien de compagnon que je déteste. Est-ce que je vais un jour m’échapper de son emprise ? « Moi, Théodore Bodin, Alpha de la Meute du Désert d’Ambre, je te rejette, Kaia Leconte, comme ma Luna. » Je me souviens de ses paroles cruelles et tranchantes comme si c’était hier. Notre lien de compagnon est inexistant. C’est un mensonge, il existe mais Théodore ne se permet pas de s’approcher de moi... ou d’être seul dans une pièce avec moi. C’est comme si je le dégoûtais. Il m’a réduit à néant. Seulement une ombre et je le déteste pour ça. Je ne peux pas continuer à vivre comme ça, à attendre... Je suis Kaia Leconte, la Luna légitime de la Meute du Désert d’Ambre. Pourtant, mon compagnon, l’Alpha Théodore, refuse de me laisser régner à ses côtés. Je me sens trompée par le lien de compagnon, que mon propre compagnon ne veut pas. Des années que j’essaie de le faire m’aimer... de me voir... mais comment le pourrais-je ? Quand il en a une autre... Je ne peux pas rester, ce n’est plus sûr pour moi ni pour mon enfant à naître. Un enfant créé par la force. Je dois partir... m’enfuir et retrouver mon père. Il est la seule bouée de sauvetage dont je dispose. Cependant, il a été vu récemment dans la meute ennemie, la Meute du Fantôme Noir. Une meute notoire avec un Alpha froid et intrigant, qui n’apprécie pas les étrangers. On dit que ceux qui entrent dans la meute ne sont jamais revus. Mais je n’ai pas le choix... je dois entrer dans la meute ennemie pour me débarrasser de mon lien de compagnon. Seulement, je me retrouve avec un autre. Un autre qui me condamne à la même tromperie du lien de compagnon.

I made a mistake. A terrible, unforgettable mistake. It all started with one reckless, drunken night—a night that shattered everything I knew. I slept with him. Not just any man, but Zayden Whitemore—my father’s best friend, the man I’d secretly loved for years. I thought it was just a one-time mistake. But I was wrong. Because now, I’m marrying his son. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I was supposed to marry Vincent to save my father’s failing business, to escape the scandal that ruined my family. But how can I pretend to be the perfect wife when my heart—and body—crave his father? Zayden is older, untouchable, forbidden. Every time he looks at me, I burn with desire. Every time he pushes me away, I fall harder. We both know it’s wrong, but we can’t stop. Loving him is dangerous. Staying with him could destroy me. But walking away? That might break me for good. How do you escape a love that’s forbidden, dangerous… and impossible to forget?

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”
