Tonia Alexa lived a life of scorn. Mocked for the scar that marred her face, her own mate cast her aside the second he secured his power, leaving her shattered and convinced she was unlovable.
Then came a single night with a stranger. He was the first man who didn’t see her scar, the first to make her feel desired.
That one night was a secret they both carried. For Tonia, he was a dream. For him—the ruthless Alpha King Kermit—she was the only woman who had ever given him release, an obsession he couldn’t forget.
Five years later, she’s forced into a marriage contract with that very same man. Just as his cold exterior begins to thaw, a devastating lie rips them apart. His memories of her are stolen, and the man who once desired her now sees only a traitor.
Tonia wants to flee. But with her stolen children’s lives on the line, she has to fight. To reclaim her family, she must face a world of dark power and deception, ruled by the man who holds her heart but no longer remembers her name.


Before the scream could escape my throat, his hand clamped down over my mouth with brutal force.


Every muscle in my body erupted into frantic motion. I kicked, twisted, and thrashed against his iron grip, desperate to break free from the nightmare that had found me again. My muffled cries died against his palm as I fought with everything I had left.


But Bradley was a wall of muscle and malice. No matter how hard I struggled, he held me captive with terrifying ease.


"Stop fighting me, or I'll give you a reason to scream." His voice was a low growl against my ear, each word dripping with dark promise.


The fight drained out of me instantly. My body went limp, exhaustion replacing adrenaline as the futility of my situation crashed over me like ice water.


"Good girl. Now I'm going to move my hand, but if you even think about screaming, you'll regret it." His breath was hot against my neck, making my skin crawl.
