About this ebook
A year and a day. One child. One cure.
Ysolde Marrowby has run out of options. Her little brother is dying of a wolf curse, and the only antidote is locked in the vaults of Stormhollow, the most feared pack in the north. So she walks through the gate of Alpha Casimir Ironvale and begs.
Casimir doesn't bargain. But the council has given him twelve months to produce an heir or lose his seat to his scheming cousin. He needs a mate, and he needs her to be temporary.
The terms are simple: no feelings, no marks, no lies. Ysolde adds one of her own. He doesn't touch her without her yes.
But the moon doesn't honor contracts. The bond that blazes between them at the half-vows was never meant to fade, and the cravings only grow hungrier. Someone has been pulling strings for twenty years, a forged letter has turned the pack against her, and the secret hidden beneath Ysolde's scar could change everything, for her, for the child growing inside her, and for the man who swore he'd never love anyone.
Now Ysolde must decide whether to run from a bond she never chose, or fight for a love that was never part of the deal.
Some bargains are made to be broken. Some mates were never meant to be temporary.
Possessive alpha. Fated mates. Contract romance. Heir arrangement. Steamy, suspenseful, and impossible to put down.
