To save her pack, she signed a contract with a monster. Now, he’s deciding whether to protect her—or devour her. Elara Vance’s father gambled away their future, and the only man who can pay the debt is Kaelen Thorne, the "Butcher of the West." The deal is simple: A marriage in name only. No feelings. No touching. Just an alliance to keep the Northern invaders at bay. But the moment the ink dries, the rules change. Kaelen doesn’t want a business partner; his wolf wants a mate. As the lines between a fake marriage and a primal obsession blur, Elara realizes the most dangerous thing in the room isn't the enemies at the gates—it's the man holding the pen.

An enchanted castle full of secrets, a rite of passage she cannot avoid, an arranged marriage she’ll do anything to get out of. Bexley isn’t like ordinary girls. She’d rather be studying animals than flirting with men. It’s too bad her stepfather insists she pay attention to Garth, a meathead who only wants her to make babies and clean his house. On her twenty-first birthday, like all women in her village, she’s ordered to the castle to meet with the Alpha King. For someone who didn’t even know wolf shifters existed, it’s all a shock, especially when she sees the twisted body of King Canaan. Canaan is used to keeping secrets, so it’s not difficult for him to keep them from Bexley—like the fact that she’s his mate, so she can never leave. But the king has enemies. Not only is the witch that cursed him still out there, when Garth shows up leading a band of villagers who want to kill him, he’ll have to fight against his own people. Unless Bexley can find a way to stop them. It might help if she knew the truth about herself. When she discovers her true identity, nothing in the kingdom will ever be the same. If you enjoy fairy tale retelling with a wolf shifter twist, you’ll love this new series by the author of The Alpha King’s Breeder and The Vampire King’s Feeder.
