Seraphine Callum has one goal — protect everything her late father left behind before the man controlling her family destroys it completely.

When her stepfather arranges her marriage to a stranger without her consent, Seraphine refuses to go quietly. A chance encounter with a mysterious woman offers her an unexpected escape — a secret flash marriage to a man she’s never properly seen.

No names. No faces. Just a way out.

She thinks it buys her time. She has no idea it changes everything.

Some marriages begin with love. This one begins with survival.

Neve Delaney has spent her whole life perfecting her balance on ice. Off it? That’s a different story.
At nineteen she is on the edge of the career she has fought her entire life for. The last thing she needs is a complication. The last person she should want is her manager… the cold, controlled, impossibly distant Beckett Hargrove.
But one night changes everything.
A celebration that goes wrong. A version of Beckett she has never seen before. A decision she can never take back.
Weeks later Neve is staring at two pink lines and the walls of her carefully built life are cracking.
Beckett doesn’t remember that night. He doesn’t know what she did. He doesn’t know the child she’s carrying has his grey eyes and his stubborn blood.
When the scandal breaks and both their reputations are on the line, Beckett does what he does best, he takes control. A marriage. Clean. Practical. A business arrangement to protect them both.
Neve says yes.
Not because she has a choice.
Because she has a secret she is terrified he will never forgive.
And Beckett? He has secrets of his own. Ones that are about to drag them both into a war they never signed up for.
He doesn’t remember that night.
She’s terrified of the moment he does.
Cold Enough to Burn… because some things are too dangerous to feel and too impossible to stop.

Kate Brady doesn’t exist. She’s a name on a passport, a voice Jackson Ruspoli has started to trust, a lie built carefully enough to survive inside the walls of Ruspoli Industries. Underneath her is Natalie Cromwell, a woman who died the same year her father did, when his ruined name became the only inheritance she had left.

Getting close to Jackson was supposed to be simple: find the buried proof that clears her father, and disappear before anyone learns her real name. But Jackson isn’t the careless mark she expected.
He’s sharp enough to know something about her doesn’t add up, and dangerous enough that being caught could cost her more than the job.

Then someone else starts using her real name.
Someone who remembers exactly what happened ten years ago, and wants the kind of ending that doesn’t leave room for the truth to matter, only for everything to burn. Now Natalie isn’t just racing to expose what Jackson’s family did. She’s racing to stop a stranger from destroying her only chance to do it right, before she becomes the one person left to blame.

The closer she gets to the truth, the closer she gets to Jackson. And the more she has to lose the moment he finds out who she really is.

She came here to be the hunter. She’s starting to realize she might already be the prey.

Soraya was delivered to him in chains, the last living proof of a bloodline he’d just burned to the ground.

Soraya Hallowmere has one skill that’s kept her alive her whole life: the ability to disappear. Hide the fear. Hide the grief. Hide exactly what she is. It’s the only reason she survived the fall of her pack, and the only reason she might survive what comes next.

Because Kieran Ashguard has never once failed to sense a lie. Not from his council. Not from his enemies. Not from anyone who has ever stood in front of him and tried to hide something.

Until her.

For the first time in his life, the Alpha who conquered her home can’t read the girl he’s holding hostage and it terrifies him more than any lie ever could. He tells himself it’s a trap. He tells himself she’s dangerous. He tells himself keeping her close is strategy, not something else entirely.

But the bond between them is real, and it comes with a deadline. Under the next Blood Moon, he must claim her or renounce her forever, and either choice could cost him everything: his throne, his pack, his own certainty in a world he thought he understood completely.

Soraya isn’t just a hostage. She isn’t just a secret. And the closer Kieran gets to the truth of what she really is, the more he realizes the girl he conquered might be the only person who was ever honest with him at all.

A fated bond neither of them chose. A throne neither of them can afford to lose. And a truth that will burn everything down the moment it surfaces.
