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.


My knuckles turned white as I gripped the shopping basket tighter, ducking my head in what I hoped looked like respectful acknowledgment.


"Good morning, Alpha Chad. I apologize for nearly colliding with you."


His deep chuckle sent an uncomfortable shiver down my spine. "No harm done at all. I had no idea you frequented establishments like this. Are you involved in pharmaceutical work?"


I managed only a stiff nod, not trusting my voice to remain steady.


"Fascinating. I merely stopped by to acquire certain supplies myself. What fortunate timing that our paths crossed today."


Fortunate? The way his eyes lingered on me suggested nothing fortunate about this encounter whatsoever.


I forced my lips into what I hoped resembled a smile while taking a deliberate step backward. "Please excuse me, Alpha. I hope you find everything you need."
