Marry her village's next leader and become the sacred Seer, a human blessed with the gift of precognition. And yet, when the infamous shifters of the North invade her homeland on the day of her wedding searching for gold, food, and women, Calla realizes she does not have as much control over her destiny as she thought. Like the icy and unforgiving nature of the northern continent, Alpha Einarr Fjerstäd treats those that he conquers with little mercy. Under the flag of the Alpha King, he holds no qualms about invading human villages and leaving nothing but ash and bone in his wake. But when his pack's longship lands on the shores of Calla Voronín's seaside city, the infamous Alpha stumbles upon a treasure far greater than any loot. Stolen away to her supernatural captor's frigid homeland, Calla is determined to do everything in her power to punish Alpha Einarr and return to her family. And yet, with every second spent amongst the legendary shifters and beside the man who claims to be her mate, Calla's resolve to escape weakens. In a struggle against her own desire, Calla must decide whether to forsake her werewolf captors or step into her role as Luna-- ruler of the Alpha's heart.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

I've been in love with Maya Garcia since I saw her for the first time in seventh grade. I know it's cliche, and I know it sounds unrealistic, but I swear it's the truth. She was everything I wanted in a girl and more, and It didn't take more than three hours for me to figure that out. Maya was feisty, outspoken, confident, and she didn't change herself for anyone. She was undoubtedly herself, and it was intoxicating. She was perfect. But there was just one tiny thing getting in the way of having her all to myself: Maya Garcia just so happened to be my sister's best friend, which made her completely, one hundred percent off limits. What are the fucking odds, right? _____ Part of the Hidden Attraction series! You do NOT need to read the other books beforehand, however, I recommend it to avoid spoilers in the comments :) 1. My Brother's Best Friend 2. In Five Years 3. The Perfect Timing
