Lilianna became a widow before she ever became a wife. Her husband Silas, was murdered on their wedding night. No witnesses, no weapons, only a pungent smell of sulphur in the air. Then Luca arrives. The estranged step-brother no one speaks about. Before Lilianna can even grieve, Luca forces her into a sudden marriage to keep the Stormborne empire from collapsing. She hates him instantly. Hates the secrets he refuses to explain. Hates how his storm-grey eyes follow her like she already belongs to him. They begin as enemies, yet something shifts in the silences between them. In the way he flinches when she cries. In the way she reaches for him before she can stop herself. And for the first time in her life, Lilianna feels something terrifying. Hope! But when Luca's daggers sink into her chest, Lilianna discovers the truth about herself. She isn't human; she is immortal. She is haunted by visions of a past that she cannot remember. Vision of storm grey eyes. The same eyes as the man who stabbed her. The man who may be her greatest enemy or her only salvation–Luca Stormborne. Because that man is not just a monster hiding from the government! He is an Alpha werewolf carrying the burden of a terrible secret. That he has loved Lilianna before. And this was not the first time he was forced to kill her.
