But when a violent underground deal goes wrong, she catches the eye of Julian Thorne, a lethal syndicate boss who crushes empires for sport. To save her sister, Clara must surrender to a man who demands absolute control. As she enters his gilded cage, Clara realizes the true danger isn't his cruelty, but her own dark desire.

When Seraphina's brother collapses from a deadly curse, she begs her fated mate, Alpha Kaelen, for the cure. Instead, she finds him soul-binding with her cousin. Kaelen publicly rejects Seraphina, condemning her brother as weak, and forces her to brew his wedding elixir. But Seraphina isn't just a discarded mate—she's a master alchemist. She sabotages the wedding, steals the pack's ancient relic, and escapes to the forbidden Obsidian Court, where a true king waits to crown her.

Four years in the Ashen Penitentiary burned the fight out of me. When I returned to the Graves Syndicate, I didn't expect a warm welcome. But seeing my husband with my adopted sister, and hearing my own daughter call her 'Mother,' finally shattered my heart. They framed me, stripped my title, and thought I'd crawl. Instead, I cashed in a blood-oath with the Northern Sovereign. Kaelen Cross is coming, and he’s bringing hell with him.

Claire watches her husband lie to her on the phone while he has his arm around her best friend twenty feet away. She doesn’t confront him. She makes Vanessa’s husband, Roman, a better offer: no strings, no feelings, just revenge. Then Ethan hears Claire moan on the phone—and the husband who hasn’t touched her in three months suddenly abandons his “business trip” and races home demanding answers. Too late. Claire is done begging for scraps. Vanessa can keep lying. Ethan can keep panicking. Claire and Roman keep going back to each other, even when no one is watching and there’s nothing left to prove. Revenge was supposed to make their cheating spouses hurt. It was never supposed to make Claire want Roman for real.
