Broken Bond: Dark Mate Romance

He destroyed every single one.

Briar Ashworth has survived twenty-three years by never breaking her own code.

Home before the moon crests.

No strangers’ drinks.

Never the west side of Ashgrove.

Then she walks into a warehouse party she was never supposed to attend…

and every rule she’s ever lived by dies the second Kade Voss looks at her.

Kade is Alpha of the Thornwood pack — lethal, untouchable, and still bleeding from a border war that swallowed his family whole. He doesn’t believe in fate. He doesn’t believe in mercy. And he never planned on a bond snapping into place with a human-raised girl from the wrong side of a war he’s spent his entire life fighting.

But bonds don’t ask permission.

And neither does the enemy who’s been waiting seventeen years for exactly this kind of weakness.

As old blood debts rise and a threat neither of them saw coming closes in, Kade will be forced to choose:

honor the mate fate forced on him…

or become the monster that made him terrified to want her in the first place.

This is a dark, fated-mates romance with a hard-won HEA —

but the road there is paved in blood, betrayal, and a war neither of them started.
