He rejected me because I was weak, but he’ll crawl before me when I take his crown. The bond snapped, and my life ended. One word from Silas—Rejected—and I was no longer a woman; I was a mistake to be scrubbed from the Silvermane records. I was discarded in the cold, carrying a secret that would get me killed. Then the Shadow came for me. Fenris, the Blackwood King, didn't find me out of mercy. He found me because he hungers for whatever his rival throws away. Now, I am locked behind the iron-clad walls of his citadel, the air thick with the scent of cedar and the suffocating weight of his Forced Proximity. If I run, the blizzard will swallow me. If I stay, the King’s obsession will consume me. Every day my stomach grows, the Secret Pregnancy becomes a ticking time bomb that will either be my salvation or my execution. Fenris isn't a savior; he is a predator who has turned his gaze toward my throat. He is a "Touch Her and Die" force of nature who has declared war on the North to keep me in his bed. To survive, I must decide which is more dangerous: the mate who broke my heart, or the King who wants to devour my soul. I thought I was a victim of fate. I was wrong. I am the match that will set both their kingdoms on fire. Escape into a rejected mate tale where a secret pregnancy and a feral king collide in a world of forced proximity.
