When desperation meets desire, some lines can never be uncrossed.
Elena Vance thought she had everything under control.
Until it all shattered in one night.
Her boyfriend of four years chose a senator's daughter over her.
Her toxic family's debts threatened to destroy everything she'd built.
Her patents—her life's work—were about to be seized.
That's when he appeared.
Arthur Sterling. Wall Street's most ruthless predator. Fourteen years older. Devastatingly dangerous. The man her ex had called "Dad" his entire life.
And he wanted to make her his wife.
"You're my wife now, Elena. And wives have... sexual obligations."
When her soft moans become desperate pleas. When she arches into his punishing touch instead of pulling away. When she whispers his name like a prayer in the dark.
But just when she's about to surrender completely, a shocking revelation changes everything: The powerless girl he's been taming can now destroy him with a single signature.
Now the hunter becomes the hunted.
And she's learned from the very best how to make a man fall to his knees.

In a world ruled by wolves, humans are meant to know their place.
I never did.
Born with silver hair and green eyes, I was called cursed by humans and eventually driven from my town.
The Silverleaf Pack took me in. But because humans have no wolf spirit, they considered me incomplete.
They gave me a home, but I was never truly one of them.
Then Renault—the most powerful Alpha in Crescentia—invited me into his bed.
One night. No promises. No mark. No name.
One night became a year.
For a year, I was his secret human mistress, hidden from the pack while everyone believed I was desperately in love with him.
They were all wrong.
I never loved him. I only loved his face.
Then the ferals came.
Wolves began twisting into mindless killers, driven by a darkness no one could explain. And the night Renault nearly tore me apart, something inside me finally awakened.
A power older than the Packs.
A power that should never have existed in a human.
Now the proud Alpha who once refused to give me a name says he loves me.
But he still doesn't know what I am.
And when the truth is finally revealed, the Alpha who once made me beg for his love will be the one kneeling at my feet, desperately begging for mine.
