Maeve Edgar is the pack's unwanted - the traitor's daughter who scrubs floors and takes beatings as penance. On Selection Day, when everyone's looking for their mates, she's planning her escape. Too bad someone has other plans for her. She wakes up tied to a bed, offered as a "gift" to the visiting Crown Prince. Prince Riven - the mysterious Shadow Prince who keeps to himself and makes everyone nervous just by existing. But when their eyes meet, everything changes. He's not what the rumors say. She's not who anyone thinks she is. And whoever put her there just made the biggest mistake of their life. Because you don't mess with a royal mate. Even if nobody knows that's what she is... yet.

Raine Ellery never imagined her survival would come at a deadly price. Confined in a contractual marriage with the billionaire CEO Cassian Ashcroft to save her late mother's legacy, Raine simply had to escape her crumbling world. But the moment she signs the contract, Cassian collapses at her feet, and by midnight, he's declared dead. The media named her the bride of bad luck. The public thinks she’s cursed, while the Ashcroft board accuses her of murder. And the bargain she thought would be her salvation becomes a trap from which she cannot escape. Imprisoned in a penthouse filled with secrets and haunted by scandals, Raine is forced to play a high-stakes game of silence and survival. But when rumors of Cassian's secret enemies, a hidden inheritance war, and a conspiracy of faked death begin to surface, Raine is drawn into a quest for the truth before the world buries her with it. And just when she believes it's the end, Cassian returns—alive. Now Raine must face the most dangerous twist of all: the man she never truly knew is back… and he is not alone in what he wants.
