Reborn into a powerful prime minister’s family, a top-tier assassin from the 21st century expects nothing more than a quiet, uneventful life—until she is forced into an arranged marriage with a rumored crippled warlord. But behind his frail facade lies a dangerously formidable man whose obsessive devotion knows no bounds. As court intrigues, hidden enemies, and deadly conspiracies unfold, she must rely on her lethal skills to survive—only to discover that her mysterious husband is always one step ahead, fiercely protective and terrifyingly possessive. In a world of power and deception, their союз becomes both her greatest shield and her most dangerous temptation.

Clara Hayes thought the worst day of her life was burying her brother—until his creditors showed up. Forced to answer for his stolen millions, Clara is dragged into the terrifying world of shadow banking and lethal corporate syndicates. With only days to pay or forfeit her life, she is cornered into signing a lifetime servitude contract. But the mysterious billionaire who purchases her debt isn't a stranger. Julian Cross is the boy she loved ten years ago, now transformed into a ruthless monster who has spent a decade building an empire just to trap her in it. He doesn't just want his money back; he wants her soul.

Her mate ordered her to stop on a burning staircase—then carried his mistress to safety and left Tessa to burn. Weeks later, that same woman straps Tessa to an infirmary bed so Alpha Adrian can reject their bond in public without her there. He thinks the broken Luna will finally disappear. Instead, Tessa rejects him back. Then the restraints are found. The recording surfaces. The “bond treatment” in her medicine tests positive for wolfsbane. And the woman Adrian discarded turns out to carry Lycan royal blood—blood his Alpha command can no longer control. Now every lie, every dose, every order has a record, and Tessa is done begging to be chosen. This time, Adrian and his mistress are the ones trapped by what they did.

Clara gave up her architectural dreams to build her husband's luxury firm. The day she finds his hidden server, she learns two things: Julian is passing her genius designs to his mistress, and he's draining their accounts to flee to Dubai. Instead of confronting him, Clara smiles and pours his morning coffee. With seven days until the global gala where he plans to unveil his stolen masterpiece, Clara quietly patents her work, secures her assets, and builds a trap he'll never see coming.
