Corinne was never the princess. She was just the stand-in, sent to marry Alpha Barrett Locke and end a war. The crown was fake, the vows were lies, and the marriage was supposed to be temporary. But the mate bond that activates between them does not care about authenticity -- it cares about the soul. Alpha Barrett is mad -- not in the colloquial sense but in the way that makes entire packs tremble.

Mr. Foster married her as a business arrangement, a limited-time contract with clear terms and an expiration date.

The man who entered this arrangement with cold pragmatism is now desperately trying to find reasons to extend it. But his wife, who has her own secrets and her own reasons for agreeing to the arrangement, may not be willing to stay without something real.
