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 stared at Kermit in disbelief. What in the world was happening?


This wasn't the response I had braced myself for. I thought he would unleash his fury on me, call me every horrible name imaginable. Instead, he was handling this revelation far better than I could have imagined.


"What?" Sterling's voice cracked with confusion and desperation. "No... That's not why I'm here. I came to warn you about her. To tell you she needs to be thrown out!"


"So you can claim her for yourself?" Kermit let out a cold laugh. "That's not how things work with me."


Sterling shot up from his chair, his face twisting with rage.


"I'm not backing down either. I have no plans to let her slip away."


The atmosphere in the room turned deadly cold.


What followed happened so quickly that my brain couldn't process it all. Kermit grabbed Sterling by his shirt collar, and his fist connected with Sterling's jaw with a sickening crack.
