Everyone knew it - the high-society elite, the tabloids, even the most obscure celebrity in Rome - that Luca De Santis, the dashing CEO of De Santis Investment Bank, hadn't married for love. Not her, not Amber, the penniless American intern who'd made the grave mistake of falling into his bed and getting pregnant with his child. It was whispered in the grand halls of Italian society, echoed by his ruthless mother, who never failed to remind Amber of her "fortunate accident" that had thrust her into this world of opulence. From the day they wed, Luca's family loathed her. She was the outsider, the scandalous mistress who had torn him away from the beautiful and adored Carlotta Fiorentino, the heiress who everyone believed was destined to be Mrs. De Santis. But the final blow was watching him retreat entirely - not just from her, but from their son, Nico. So, Amber did the only thing she could. She left. Packed her bags, took Nico, and fled back to the States. Luca barely batted an eye. And within weeks, he was back with Carlotta, the woman everyone believed he should have been with all along. Now, four years later, Rome buzzed again with wedding excitement. Luca was set to marry Carlotta, and this time, it was going to be a royal affair - a spectacle that would unite two of Italy's most powerful families. The wedding of the century, everyone called it. But Amber was back. With their son. In Rome.

Two dying packs. One dangerous lie. And a bond neither of them can escape. The war between the Steelclaw and Riverbend packs has raged for centuries- and now it's destroying them from the inside out. Wolves are dying faster than they can be replaced. Pups are no longer being born. Extinction is no longer a possibility... It's a certainty. Peace comes with a price. Elizabeth of Riverbend is given to the enemy Alpha in a forced union meant to end the bloodshed. Her mate-in-name is Arlo Steelclaw- cold, powerful, and feared by every wolf who speaks his name. Their marriage will bind the packs under one treaty... if they can keep the lie alive. They must convince everyone they've been secretly, obsessively in love for a year. Every touch practiced. Every heated look rehearsed. Every shared bed strictly for appearances. Until it's not. Arlo's dominance is suffocating-and intoxicating. Elizabeth's defiance makes him burn. What begins as obligation turns into temptation, then desire so fierce it leaves them shattered and gasping in the dark. Each stolen moment blurs the line between deception and truth, between enemies and something far more dangerous. But loving the enemy Alpha could cost Elizabeth everything. As rival wolves circle and betrayal threatens the fragile truce, one truth becomes clear: lies can ignite passion- but only love can survive the coming war.

~Vikrant~ I wish I had a rewind button because I did the one thing I was most afraid of. I made a mistake, and now I'm living with the consequences. I knew this decision would change everything. I left her without even telling her. And I know she might be waiting for me back in India, but it's too late-I'm already in Germany. I left her just like she told me her father left her. And now I'm drowning in guilt. ~ But something has changed since I came back. It's like everything I once knew feels different, even though nothing's really changed. The places, the faces-they're all the same. But she's no longer mine. I need her back, no matter what it takes. And the cruelest part of betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies. "Well, I guess they're right-everything's fair in love and war, isn't it?"
