Alpha Ryder's Luna
Rejected, demeaned, and wrongly accused of murder she didn't commit.
Maya's life shatters as they accuse her of the sudden death of the new Luna chosen by Alpha Caleb.
Pregnant and powerless, she flees into forbidden territory where Caleb's laws cannot reach her.
Bleeding, terrified, and hunted by an entire pack, Maya collapses at the borders of the Mooresville pack territory ruled by the cold, feared Alpha Ryder, a man known for two things: his ruthless leadership and his complete lack of desire for any woman.
To save her life, Ryder offers her a deal: two years of a contract marriage and protection in exchange for her presence, no emotions, no intimacy, and no exceptions.
Ryder faces the one thing he never prepared for: wanting a woman he swore he could never desire. And Maya must choose: run again or trust one man whose heart isn't supposed to want her.
