Neah is an Alpha’s daughter in name only. Starved, beaten, and stripped of her wolf abilities, she has spent years serving the very people who blame her for her parents’ deaths. Everything changes when Alpha Dane, the feared ruler of the powerful Black Shadow pack, arrives to negotiate an alliance—and decides to take Neah as his bride. Their contract offers her a chance to escape her tormentors, but Dane soon realizes that Neah's past hides something far more dangerous than a family tragedy. As buried secrets emerge and her true nature begins to surface, the woman everyone treated as worthless may be far more powerful than anyone imagined.
