I thought finding my mate would be the start of my happily ever after. I was wrong. It was the beginning of my misery. Cassius Slade, the son of the Alpha, my tormentor for years, claimed me in front of the entire pack. For one breathless moment, I believed the Moon Goddess had given me a blessing. Then I found him in another’s arms… whispering love to someone who wasn’t ME. To hide his shame, he asked for my life but I ran, broken and ready to let the sea swallow me whole. But fate wasn’t finished with me. I woke in the arms of Dante Steele. The dangerous, magnetic Alpha and he claimed me as his second-chance mate. His gaze burns hotter than the sun, his touch makes me forget my scars, and his vow to protect me makes my wolf purr. But Cassius isn’t done with me. And the Moon Goddess doesn’t grant second chances without a price. Now, I stand between two Alphas, two fates, and one choice that could save me… or destroy me. I am given a chance, to rewrite my horrible story and make it beautiful.

“Damien took everything from me,” I said, trembling. Zeke’s grey eyes darkened. “Then let’s take everything back.” Betrayed by her husband. Replaced by her twin. Cast out of the empire she helped build. Evelyn Banner, left empty and stranded, thought she lost everything—until Zeke Blackwood, he ex husband's estranged brother, inserts himself into the picture, offering her a chance at vengeance.

Together, Evelyn and Zeke dive into the depths of the city's criminal underworld, their lives are at risk and betrayal is a constant presence. But when the die is cast, secrets unravel and desire ignites, Evelyn must ask herself —can she trust the man whose love she once rejected, or is she trading one betrayal for another?

After my parents were killed in a territory war, I was taken in by Don Moretti, head of New York's most powerful crime family. I was the only civilian in a world of made men. For twenty years, I was raised alongside his twin heirs, Marco and Santino. Their protection and favor made me the envy of every aspiring mob wife in the city. But when I was finally ready to become a real part of the family, they both turned me down. Marco said, "I need to focus on expanding our territory first. I'm not ready for this kind of commitment." Santino said, "An outsider can't be trusted with family secrets." The next night, at my birthday celebration, they both proposed to the daughter of a low-level enforcer. To prove their loyalty to her, they let her force me to drink "The Don's Fire"—a 150-proof grappa laced with ghost peppers that would hospitalize anyone who wasn't raised on it since childhood. Broken in body and spirit, I made a call from my hospital bed. "I accept the proposal from the Luciano Syndicate."

Hindi lamang siya ginamit bilang isang panakip-butas, kundi pinaratangan pa siyang baog at pinilit na mag-ampon ng anak na dalawa. Sa matinding pagkadismaya, tinawagan ni Aliyah ang abogadong nangangalaga sa kanyang mana at buong diin na sinabi: "Walang asawa, walang anak, ako ang tanging tagapagmana."

Ngunit isang araw, nasaksihan ni Frederick ang hindi inaasahang paglitaw ni Aliyah sa pambansang telebisyon, kung saan ipinahayag ang kanyang pagpapakasal sa isang lalaking may angking yaman at kapangyarihan. Sa gitna ng atensyon, nakatayo si Aliyah sa tabi ng lalaking ito, tinatanggap ang mga pagbati at inggit ng nakakarami.
