My husband of two weeks was lying to me. I just didn't know he was hiding claws. Riker Maddox-Wall Street shark, gentle giant, and my perfect new husband-drags me to meet his family on a remote Canadian island he's avoided for seven years. Within 24 hours, I discover: • He can turn into a 9-foot grizzly bear • Shifters are real and I'm surrounded by them • I'm "fated mate" to FOUR men, not just one • The island's alpha can crush me with her mind • Someone is murdering shifters across North America Before I can process any of it, a deadly conference brings hundreds of predators to the island-including rivals who thinks "unmarked human" means "fair game." My four mates fight like demons to protect me. But when a psychotic killer paralyzes every shifter on the island, I'm the last one standing. Armed with a syringe of antidote and zero shifter powers, this NYC marketing executive becomes the only thing between a genocidal maniac and hundreds of sleeping shifters. They called me weak. Fragile. Just a human. They were wrong. **Four alpha mates who'd die for her. One human woman who'll kill for them. And a love that rewrites destiny.**"""

Synopsis: Her parents raised her to save lives. He was born to take them. At twenty-three, Dr. Evangeline James has her dream job and a haunted heart. One of Manhattan's youngest pediatric surgeons, she spends her days stitching up children and her nights keeping her demons in check. Raised under her parents' strict Southern roof-with gospel in her ears and shame stitched into her spine-Evangeline ran to New York for more than ambition. She came for air. For control. For secrets. She never expected to find him-a man bleeding to death behind a dumpster in the freezing cold, clutching a gun like it was a lifeline. One look into those brutal, obsidian eyes and Evangeline knew: this man was not a victim. He was a threat. And somehow, she still brought him home. He said his name was Lorenzo DeLuca. She knew it belonged to a monster. Not just a mafia prince-but the heir to the DeLuca empire. A man carved from violence and baptized in blood. A man who's used to getting what he wants-and now he wants her. Lorenzo is sin in human form. dark silk, loaded guns, and soft-spoken commands. He makes promises that sound like threats and touches her like she's already his. He says he'll protect her from his world-but his world is made of bodies, betrayal, and war. And Evangeline? She's no saint. What begins as a mercy spirals into a dangerous obsession. He's possessive. Unforgiving. Addicted. And the deeper Evangeline falls into Lorenzo's shadows, the more she questions everything-her morals, her loyalties, even her own pleasure. Because nothing about this is holy. Nothing about him is safe. But God, she craves him anyway. And she might not survive what loving him will cost.
