Alpha Ronan Veyne divorced me in front of his entire pack. He called it duty. His council called it necessary. The woman waiting to take my place called it mercy. I called it the end. For three years, I was the quiet wife at Blackthorn Hall. Too human for the wolves. Too weak for the Luna's seat. Too easy to set aside when a better-bred woman arrived with a prettier smile and a stronger bloodline. Then Ronan took off my wedding ring, and something ancient woke beneath my skin. By sunrise, the dragons were searching for me. By the next blood moon, the kingdoms that mocked me would kneel. Ronan thought he was divorcing a powerless wife. He had no idea he was releasing a queen.

Betrayed by her own family, Nina Storm is forced to marry in her sister's place- to the cursed Alpha whose wives all die on the eleventh day. They call Rodrigo Vermont a monster. A tyrant too hideous to face his own reflection. But the moment Nina finally lifts her eyes to him, she's dumbstruck. He is not disfigured. He is devastatingly handsome. And dangerously irresistible. ... "Look at me." Rodrigo's voice fills the room, deep, hoarse, commanding. Nina shivers as her gaze locks with his dark, hungry eyes. She tries to look away. He grips her chin, forcing her to hold his stare. "I'm going to do things to you," he drawls. " Things I shouldn't do if I were in my right mind." His jaw tightens. "Get up." She obeys, trembling. Her fingers clutch her nightie, trying to shield herself. "Take it off." His voice drops lower, rougher. Her breath catches-yet she moves. As though pulled by something she cannot fight. Rodrigo watches her rise, eyes trailing over her slowly, hungrily. Nina trembles, heat curling through her body, an ache she does not understand tightening in her core. "Come here." She steps toward him on unsteady legs. The moment she reaches him, Rodrigo grips her ankle, lifts her leg over him- and before she can even breathe, his mouth finds her. - Everyone expects her to die. But when the twelfth dawn breaks and Nina steps out alive, the entire pack erupts in chaos. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. Kidnapped as a child and tormented by voices he cannot silence, Alpha Rodrigo Vermont has lived in darkness all his life. No one dares get close-until his unruly new bride sleepwalks into his room before their wedding. Now he doesn't just want her. He craves her. He swears he will protect her from the curse that has destroyed every woman before her. But Nina will soon learn the truth: To love the cursed Alpha is to gamble with death itself.
