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.


I found myself completely lost in this unfamiliar city where Bradley had dragged me. The street signs meant nothing to me, and I had no idea how far I was from Capital City. When I called Kermit, all I could give him was the address of the shop next to where I sat.


The wait stretched on endlessly. Exhaustion finally claimed me, and I drifted off to sleep right there on the cold pavement.


A soft touch on my shoulder pulled me back to consciousness.


My eyes opened slowly, and shock coursed through me when I saw Kermit crouched beside me on the ground.


But was this real? Maybe I was dreaming.


"Kermit?" I whispered, squinting at him in the dim light, needing to confirm he wasn't just a figment of my desperate imagination.


Darkness still cloaked the street, but I could see his familiar features clearly. He looked exactly as I remembered, even dressed simply in dark jeans and a black shirt.
