I reached out slowly and placed my fingers under her chin, lifting her face. She tried to look away, but I wouldn’t let her. Tears pooled in her eyes, but she bit her lower lip stubbornly, trying to keep them from falling. But that tiny act of defiance… God, it did something to me. I wanted to pull her closer, to claim her, to make her mine and never let anyone else touch her. “One year,” I said finally. She frowned. “What?” “I want you,” I said clearly. “For one year, you’ll be my woman. In exchange, I’ll take care of you, your needs, your family’s protection, your brother’s freedom.

Now, trapped between guilt and desire, Olivia wants to hide the truth. But Axel has already found her, and the devil never lets go of what he claims.

Kael Ravenwood is untouchable. A ruthless billionaire CEO feared in boardrooms and whispered about in elite circles. Power is his armor. Control is his weapon. No one gets close by design. Until Ava Delos Reyes walks into his office. Brilliant, fearless, and impossible to ignore, Ava is everything Kael never planned for. What begins as a strictly professional arrangement between a powerful CEO and his secretary quickly ignites into something far more dangerous stolen glances, forbidden tension, and desires that refuse to stay hidden. For Ava, falling for Kael could cost her everything she’s worked for. For Kael, wanting her threatens the empire he built with blood, strategy, and sacrifice. In a world ruled by power, secrets, and unforgivable rules, Kael doesn’t ask he takes. And Ava may be the one temptation capable of bringing the untouchable to his knees. Irresistible. Forbidden. Sinful. A love powerful enough to destroy them both.

My father, a lone werewolf, had come all the way from the Obsidian Pack while battling an illness, to attend my union ceremony with Dean Willows, Alpha of the Moonstone pack and CEO of Willows Industries. It was my father's last wish to see me get married before he died. He was elated that his dreams were finally coming alive. Unknown to him, I had arranged a fake marriage with Alpha Dean.

He responded by bringing the she-wolf, Vivien to our apartment, flaunting his new alliance.
