Summary
"His eyes are a brown so deep they’re almost black and I swear when he looked at me, it felt like he was seeing straight through my skin—and that he wasn’t the slightest bit impressed with my internal organs.
Or my soul.
Or whatever it was he saw with that glittering gaze".
Maxim Thorn is a ruthless Alpha, a mobster king who rules his pack with an iron fist. He’s also my only hope.
As a shifter from the wrong side of the tracks who’s just been rejected by my abusive fated mate, I don’t have a lot of options in this city.
I have no choice but to make a deal with the devil.
But that doesn’t mean I’m powerless. I have an ace up my sleeve, a bargaining chip Maxim can’t resist. He wants revenge on my pack leaders for poisoning his father, and I hold the key to his enemy’s destruction.
In exchange for one month of protection from my ex and his friends, I promise to give Maxim what he wants—me.
I expect honoring the bargain to be pure hell. I don’t expect to ignite every time we touch or to develop a soft spot for this wounded wolf. His blood calls to mine, and I’m starting to think this wicked king may have a heart after all.
But is there room in his world for love? Or am I destined to become a pawn in his dark game?
*This is book one in a quartet. It ends in a cliffhanger.
