“Why don’t you get your head out of the gutter and realize that you are just a prop, Nalani? You’re not Daniel’s partner, never have been, and if anyone is going to become his soon, it’s me!” These are the words that Gwen, my husband’s “business friend”, spits at me with colorful disdain painting her face. After seven years of selfless commitment on her part, and lies and manipulation on his, Nalani takes the proverbial fatal blow when Daniel betrays her trust and soils their sacred vows to each other. This time, she is unforgiving, leaving without looking back, but Daniel, realizing his mistake, wants her back. Obsessed with winning Nalani again, no matter the cost, Daniel crosses every moral line visible to man, but can she still reject him, and watch as he shatters the way she did under him?

When I arrived, I saw my husband sitting at a table with Nalani by his side. Was this supposed to be a meeting? Was he seriously introducing me to his mistress? I sat down quietly, my heart heavy. “Eden,” Liam began, his voice calm. “I hope you know why we’re here.” Nalani cut him off with a sharp tone. “Oh, just tell her already.” She looked straight at me, her words cold and deliberate. “I’m carrying Liam’s child, and we’re getting married as soon as possible.” The words hit me hard, but I refused to show how much it hurt. I glanced at Liam, hoping for some sign of remorse, but he just stared at the table. I stood slowly, clutching my purse. “You win,” I said softly. “I’ll sign the papers.”

BLURB: In a shadowed world ruled by ancient wolf packs, power is carried in blood and sealed by bonds. Nalani has always fought to belong. Fierce, stubborn, and unbreakable, she carves her path as a warrior, refusing to bow to anyone’s expectations. But beneath her fire burns a truth she never imagined: her blood is silver. Her lineage is Lynix… a near-extinct breed immune to silver and bound to a prophecy that could shatter or save every kingdom. Heartbroken and rejected by her childhood crush, she buries her pain in relentless training, determined to rise above everyone. Then the mate bond awakens. Not once. Twice. Caspian and Kieran are twin alphas… brothers by birth, enemies by choice. One is brooding and unyielding, a wall of quiet control. The other is charming and reckless, a storm hiding behind a smirk. Both are hers… fated, possessive, and caught between the hatred that divides them and the pull that binds them to her. The bond is electric, consuming, impossible to ignore. They cannot share without tearing each other apart. Yet neither can let her go. As the tournament nears and danger circles closer… anonymous threats, shadowy figures, Nalani must face the family she thought she knew, the mates who both claim her soul, and the power she never wanted. She can run. She can fight. She can deny the bond that burns through her veins. But the moon does not bargain. In a world where love can heal or destroy, where twin alphas must share what they once fought to possess, and where a single drop of silver blood could bring ruin or redemption, Nalani will have to choose: embrace the Lynix within her and risk everything, or reject it and lose the only thing that has ever felt like home.

Aurora is Alpha Evander's second chance mate. On the eve of their wedding anniversary, Evander proposes a rejection and divorce to Aurora because his first mate, Nalani, has awakened from a coma. Evander informs her that the rejection ceremony will take place at the next full moon. After being rejected by Evander, Aurora learns that the Lycan Prince is her second chance mate. Following her banishment, she is taken away by the Lycan Prince. Meanwhile, Evander begins to miss Aurora and regrets his decision, starting his quest to win her back.

I wasn’t born to be Luna but the bargain made me one. They told me I would be his second mate because he lost the first, but they didn’t tell me that the bond would feel like war. Nalani was born with the ancient power that could save lives with the cost of a fragment of hers, which forced her to live in hiding, under the forced protection of her parents. Samael Calgrave lost his first mate and with her, his heart. When duty forces him into a political marriage with Nalani Halden, a healer protected by her small pack, he swears she will never replace the woman who was taken from him. But words were never made to decide the future. As they are forced to share a new future together, Samael finds himself consumed by her – her fire, her touch and her courage. The bond consumes them, growing stronger with every stolen glance, every heated confrontation, and every connection they can’t control. As enemies lurk in the shadows and dark magic rears its ugly head, their passion becomes their weapon, their weakness and the only thing that can save them. Because when obsession ignites, love consumes everything.
