Belle was eighteen. Bastian was twenty-eight—her brother’s best friend, the man she was never supposed to love. One violent night, his fists saved her. One stolen moment, his lips almost ruined her. Now, he’s trapped in an arranged engagement with a woman who owns his freedom— and Belle is the only thing he can’t stop wanting. Every glance burns. Every touch is forbidden.

Rune Leeder has been demoted to a servant since her father was declared a traitor. Her family was taken away from her, and she has to suffer constant bullying from other pack members. She’s sure she’ll live her life like that until she takes her last breath, but the Moon Goddess has something in store for her.

This is a shame because men - gorgeous, sexy, or otherwise are completely off my radar! I can blame my ex for that, he's a controlling, miserable PoS! Weeks of being told what I can and cannot do would drive anyone to murder. Oops! The less said about that the better. No, I didn't stick a knife in his black petrified heart, but I did cause him major humiliation, which, thinking about it might have been even worse.

But to whom? I can only think of one person, and that is my new assistant. She's beautiful and thinking about her keeps me awake at night.
