In a world where humans and shifters coexist under fragile treaties, Aurora Beaumont never expected to be a shifter bride-let alone survive an attack on her first day. Orphaned young and raised in silence by a bitter aunt, Aurora has spent her life enduring cruelty and isolation. When her inheritance is stolen, the last remnants of her parents held hostage, and the unwanted attention of her cousin Harvey, she's given a choice that isn't one at all: submit to the shifter bride program, or lose everything. Forced into the match and backed into a corner, she steps into the unknown-only for her arrival at the Bridal Centre to end in bloodshed. Now, Aurora finds herself face-to-face with the shifter who saves her life: Nord Isbjorn, Alpha of the Silver Claw pack. Stoic, towering, and more snow than fire, Nord is a man of few words-but beneath his glacial calm lies a fierce, unyielding protector. But in the frozen north, where beasts prowl and loyalties waver, warmth is rare-and worth fighting for.
