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.

"Then explain why he never came home last night. Even Maximus has no clue where he disappeared to."


Her jaw clenched at the mention of that name. "Don't bring him up."


I threw my hands up in exasperation. "This is serious, Gia. Something feels wrong. Shouldn't we at least try to find out what's going on?"


"Absolutely not. I couldn't care less what happens to that psychopath."


Heat flared in my chest at her callous response.
