As I looked at his matter-of-fact expression, I suddenly laughed. Since that was the case, this marriage was no longer worth keeping.

As a werewolf who grew up as a rogue, Katia did not follow any rules, nor even know what the law was. She doesn't even know that her mate exists. So when she unexpectedly met the other half of her soul, Alpha Reui, the alpha of the Exodus pack, Katia was baffled and shocked. She was given the option of attending a werewolf university or becoming fully mated with the alpha and bearing his pup.

And Katia knew she couldn't do anything to stop him from his craziness, so she just let him be.

Dr. Elara Vance's life is defined by exhaustion, crushing student loans, and grueling 30-hour residency shifts. Her passion for medicine is her singular focus until the brutal, careless discovery of her boyfriend Daniel’s long-running affair shatters her foundation. Seeking oblivion, she allows her best friend to drag her into Manhattan's elite world, where she collides with Liam Sterling, the notoriously private and ruthlessly efficient tech CEO. ​Their intense, desperate one-night stand is a blur of emotional destruction, a mistake Elara vows to bury. But weeks later, fate delivers an impossible complication: she is pregnant with the tech mogul's child. ​Liam, a master of cold, transactional risk management, moves swiftly to contain the scandal.

With her professional life precariously balanced, Elara must decide if Liam’s love is worth the risk of losing her identity, and he must decide if his obsession with control is worth losing the only person who has ever truly challenged the sterile efficiency of his world.
