Hilda

Sage Draven’s life goes up in flames at her own engagement party—her boyfriend dumps her in front of the entire wolf pack, sneering that she’s “she’s as bland as white rice.” Then her best friend drops the real bomb: she’s been sleeping with him for six months. They’re “true mates.” Blessed by the Moon Goddess. And Sage? Just the pathetic human stepping stone. Humiliated and shattered, she drowns her sorrows in a high-end bar—and falls into bed with a devastatingly handsome stranger. One night of insane chemistry later, she learns his real name: Kael Thorne. Her ex’s boss. The most feared Alpha CEO in the city. And now… the father of her baby. Desperate and hiding her pregnancy, Sage accepts a bizarre job offer from Kael as his executive assistant. Working side by side, the heat between them is impossible to ignore. When Kael discovers the truth, he makes her a shocking proposal: become his fake mate to silence his family’s matchmaking, and he’ll provide for her and the child. It’s just business. Until it isn’t. But Sage carries an even more dangerous secret. She’s not a nobody. She’s the lost heiress to the Moonhaven Luna bloodline—worth billions, hunted by enemies, and tied to a prophecy she never wanted. When her true identity explodes into the open, everyone who rejected her comes crawling back. Her ex. Her former best friend. Rival packs. And the killers who murdered her parents. Now Sage must decide: Is the ruthless Alpha worth the fight? Can this fake bond become something real? And will she rise as the Luna Queen she was born to be—or be destroyed by the wolves at her door?

My father sold me on a Tuesday. By Friday, I was married to the most feared man on the coast. By Sunday, I'd found the error in his books, and decided not to tell him. Yet. Elena Moretti was the quiet daughter. She kept the family restaurant's accounts, kept her head down, and kept pretending she didn't see her father drowning in debt to the Rossi family. Then the debt came due, and the payment had a dress code: white. Dante Rossi. They call him the Alpha King. Banks fear him, judges owe him, and the four other families on the coast step aside when he walks into a room. What Elena doesn't know, the night she signs his contract, is that the men of his house aren't men at all. She arrives with her own amendments. Separate rooms. No lies. Nobody touches her family again, ever. She keeps the books. And one clause she didn't understand when she wrote it: no marking. What Dante doesn't tell her is that the moment she walked in, his wolf chose her. A human mate. Under the old code, an Alpha bound to a human is unfit to rule, and someone in his house has been waiting years for exactly that excuse. Because there's a traitor inside the Rossi family, moving money through accounts only a very good bookkeeper would ever notice. And the King's new wife is a very, very good bookkeeper. Wolves can smell fear. They've never met a woman who doesn't have any. His enemies fear him. His wife audits him.
