Amelia Nightshade has spent her entire life surviving. Orphaned at a young age and raised by a cruel uncle who treated her like nothing more than a burden, she learned early that the world shows mercy to no one. Working quietly in a small bookstore with her only friend, Iris, Amelia believed she had already endured the worst life had to offer. Until the night she discovers the truth. Her uncle has sold her.

And Amelia is unknowingly tied to the very people responsible for that night. As secrets unravel and emotions grow stronger, Amelia and Lucien must face a truth neither of them is ready for. The woman he is beginning to love may be connected to the greatest tragedy of his life.

I waited eight years. The day I was supposed to become Luna, my fated mate, Alpha Cayden, rejected me in front of the entire pack. Because I was barren. He severed our mate bond and kissed my omega assistant, Lilith. Turns out, they had already mated. The bitch was pregnant with his child. Rage consumed me. I was ready to leave it all behind, but his mother threw me in a silver cell. He planned to strip me of my wolf and my gift—and give my powers to his new Luna, Lilith. Broken, I fled, only to be attacked by rogues and left for dead in a pool of my own blood. When I woke again, I was in a strange place. My memory was wiped clean. Alpha Rhys of the Shadowcrest Pack was by my side, promising to take care of me. And me, the barren wolf, I was pregnant… But I can no longer remember who the child's father was.

Les murs suintent l’humidité et l’odeur de lessive bon marché. Ici, les journées se ressemblent, rythmées par les hurlements des gardiens et les murmures des détenues. Mais depuis son arrivée, Léo est une anomalie dans ce monde de femmes. Lui, le seul homme dans cet univers carcéral féminin, détonne. Trop sûr de lui. Trop calme. Trop… fascinant. Les premières semaines, il a essuyé les regards en coin, les provocations, les tests. Mais il a tenu bon. Parce qu’il sait survivre. Parce qu’il sait se battre. Ce soir, dans la cour, l’atmosphère est électrique. Mira, assise sur un banc, le fixe, mâchoire serrée. Depuis qu’il a posé les yeux sur Sasha, une brune au regard brûlant, la tension monte. Ici, l’amour et la passion sont des feux de paille qui enflamment tout sur leur passage. Et Mira n’aime pas partager. Léo le sait. Mais il ne recule pas. — Tu te prends pour qui ? crache Mira en s’approchant, son gang derrière elle. Il se lève lentement, un sourire au coin des lèvres. Il n’a pas peur. Il a connu pire. — Je prends ce que je veux, répond-il, voix posée. Sasha, à quelques pas, le regarde, fascinée. Il la veut, et elle le sait. Mira ne supporte pas ce défi silencieux. Son poing part, rapide, furieux. Léo l’évite de justesse et riposte. L’impact claque, Mira titube, mais ne lâche pas l’affaire. Elle revient à la charge, et bientôt, la bagarre éclate sous les cris des détenues qui encerclent la scène.
