Van Horn To Blackwater

Magnus, the feared Savage Alpha King, rules with strength and cruelty. Trapped in a loveless marriage and haunted by tragedy, he demands a life in exchange for the accident that killed his child. Instead of a child, Adira—the Beta’s daughter—offers herself. What begins as punishment turns into something far more dangerous. Hated by the pack and treated as nothing more than a wolfless servant, Adira refuses to break. A strange bond grows between her and Magnus, one he tries to deny… until he realizes he has fallen in love with the woman he once condemned. He makes her his Luna. But secrets, betrayal, and enemies within the pack tear them apart. Forced away and humiliated, Adira disappears, only to discover she is carrying Magnus’s child. Years later, he forces Adira to finish her sentence. Sparks start flying again between them. Magnus is wounded, the pack is on the brink of war, and the truth behind years of lies begins to surface. Now Magnus must decide how far the Savage Alpha King is willing to go to protect the woman he once punished… and the family he almost lost forever.

On the other end of the call, Rob Lambert, the hospital director, sounded thrown. "Wait—what? After all this time? I've been trying to get you on board for years." She let out a humorless laugh.

Seraphina Calloway has spent eleven months building a case against the most dangerous family in New York. She’s a former prosecutor turned private investigator, and she is mere inches from the evidence that could end the Voss empire until she breaks into Voss Tower at two in the morning and finds Lucian Voss waiting for her. He doesn’t call the police. He makes her an offer. She spent sixty days as his fake fiancée, a role staged to deflect a political alliance with rival crime lord Viktor Drakos. In return, she received every file she had ever needed and the names of the two people who had destroyed her previous cases before they reached a judge. Sera knows it’s a trap. She agrees anyway. What begins as a ruthless arrangement between enemies spirals into something neither of them can control: obsession, fury, tenderness, and a consuming desire that isn't concerned about self-preservation. Lucian is colder and more dangerous than his press release suggests, and in the moments when he doesn’t know she’s watching, he is something entirely different. Sera is sharper and more relentless than his investigation revealed and is carrying a secret identity that connects her to his world in ways that will shatter everything they’ve built. Then Viktor takes her. And Lucian discovers that sixty days was never what the game was about.
