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.


Consciousness slipped away from me like water through my fingers.


I had no idea how long I'd been unconscious after that phone call with Kermit. All I remembered was Bradley's fury escalating after he hung up, his fists finding new places to inflict damage just because he could.


My body had simply given up, unable to endure any more punishment.


Now, somehow, I was awake again. I wished I wasn't. Being conscious meant feeling every bruise, every cut, every place where his claws had torn through my skin. It meant acknowledging how close I was to death.


"Feeling refreshed?" Bradley's voice dripped with mock concern as his face hovered inches from mine.


Nausea rolled through my stomach at the sight of him. This creature wasn't human. He was pure evil wrapped in flesh, someone who belonged in the deepest pits of hell.
