Lyla felt like she was damaged goods, and had no interest in a relationship or another marriage, after the last one nearly killed her. But maybe a relationship that was treated like a business contract would be the safest place for her.

TJ needs to marry Lyla in order to inherit the family business, but he wasn't  looking for a relationship any time soon, as he was avoiding commitment after his last serious relationship didn't turn out the way he had hoped. But a marriage to Lyla was the only way to get what he had been working toward, his entire life.

TJ and Lyla knew each other as children, but when they are brought together again, after years of disappointment for each of them, the contractual relationship they agreed on becomes nothing like either could have envisioned.

[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death. -- He couldn't endure another heartbreak. "Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it." -- Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime. Or so everyone thought. She was his second chance. But her heart loved another. Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart. -- **A slow-burning, sensual love story with a splash of humor, a dash of action, and a lot of heart.** Rated PG-13 for adult content (coarse language, violence, and non-explicit sex) [There is a separate R-rated scenes book for those who want steamier scenes] CONTAINS: alpha lycan x human mates, strong female lead, second chance mates, reincarnation (tabula rasa), love-triangles, vampires, action, drama, humor, relatable characters, high stakes, passionate romances VOID OF: "insta-love," extremely possessive, aggressive, abusive alpha mates, Stockholm Syndrome *OVERALL WINNER of 2017 Flower's Awards*
