Desiree didn't care for fairytales. Although her life was hard, she never had any desire for a prince to rescue her. However, when Andrew, a handsome werewolf approaches her, priorities change. He promises to solve all her financial problems if she agrees to be his bride for one year. Desiree finds herself unable to turn down such an offer and is soon drawn into the world of werewolves, where she learns that very little is like the stories she knows.
Sebastian is a vampire servant, owned by Andrew. He and Desiree bond over their love of books, causing her to seek a way to free him, but it's difficult for her to tell how much is at it seems in Andrew's home.
She never believed in mates. She had already chosen someone else.
But when Colt, son of an Alpha, scents her across the bar, he knows the truth instantly-she's his. His mate. His undoing.
For her, the mate bond is a fairytale for wolves, not humans. She's torn between the boy she thought she loved and the man who makes her body burn and her soul ache with a connection she doesn't understand. She fights it. She denies it. But the bond doesn't care.
One reckless mark shatters the fragile peace around them, binding her to Colt and throwing them both into a storm of passion, betrayal, and impossible choices. His duty to marry another Luna could save an entire pack from destruction. Her refusal to believe in the bond could destroy them both.
Desire is dangerous. Denial is deadly.
And love might not be enough to save them.
Together they discover more about themselves and each-other beyond their electric chemistry
