“You’re looking for good in a bad man. That’s a dangerous thing to do.”
Zara is trapped, tied, and desperate to escape. The men holding her are ruthless, but it’s their leader who unsettles her most. He’s sharp, cold, unreadable—and the only one she can’t look away from. Every stolen glance chips at her resolve, every dangerous word pulls her deeper into the storm. She knows it’s reckless to search for softness in someone built of shadows, but her heart won’t listen. The lines between fear and longing blur until she can’t tell where danger ends and desire begins. Survival demands distance, yet every moment close to him feels like a secret she’s not ready to give up. Is she falling for her captor—or is she just losing herself?

Mackenzie agreed to the trial out of desperation. The $50K was worth the risk—even if the drug could kill her.
The scientists said the pheromone created raw, uncontrollable lust. She’d be sealed in with a stranger for 12 weeks.
She thought she was ready.
Until HE walked in.
The Alpha who left her broken years ago. Who rejected her from the pack for being a hybrid. He was as dangerous as she remembered.
But his eyes had a brand new blaze of heat. “Looks like fate’s got a twisted sense of humor.”
