Maren never expected her own mother to sell her. One signature, one debt, and one black carriage later, she is taken from her small Hollowmere apothecary and delivered to the powerful Vance pack as the forced bride of Kade Vance, the Alpha's feared heir. But there is no wedding. No welcome. Not even a groom waiting for her. Kade is hidden behind an iron door. The pack calls him broken. The council watches for weakness.
His enemies wait for the moment his bloodline falls. Every dark moon, pain tears through him, and everyone in the house pretends not to hear it. But Maren hears. She was bought for her healer's hands, but no one expected her to ask the one question that could unravel everything: who hurt him?As Maren digs deeper into the secrets buried inside the Vance house, she discovers betrayal, forbidden magic, a smiling Beta with blood on his hands, and a bond that should never have been able to form.
Kade is dangerous, wounded, and determined to keep her at a distance, but the more she reaches for the truth, the harder it becomes to deny the pull between them. She was sold as a debt. He was trapped by a curse. Together, they may be the only thing standing between the pack and ruin. A rejected mate. A forced marriage. A wounded Alpha heir. A healer bride who refuses to run. Read it now before you miss the dark, emotional werewolf romance readers will be talking about.
