In the glittering shadows of Manhattan’s elite, ruthless billionaire CEO Lucian Blackwood—38, commanding, and secretly the Alpha of New York’s oldest werewolf pack—needs a wife. Not for love, but to secure his ancient bloodline and quiet the feral beast clawing at his control. Desperate and drowning in family debt, 22-year-old art school graduate Elara Voss signs a contract she barely understands: one year as his submissive bride in exchange for her freedom and the money to save her dying sister. What begins as a cold, calculated arrangement of dominance and submission ignites into a scorching, all-consuming obsession. Lucian introduces Elara to the sharp kiss of leather, the exquisite restraint of silk ropes, and the primal ecstasy of his knot—locking them together in claiming heat no human man could ever match. Sixteen years divide them. Dark vows bind them. The full moon demands its due. When Elara discovers the true, eternal meaning of “forever” in a werewolf’s world, she must choose: run from the monster who owns her body… or surrender completely to the Alpha who worships her soul. A steamy, emotional age-gap werewolf shifter romance packed with intense BDSM, obsessive possession, knotting, breeding kink, and a hard-won happily ever after.
