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.


Yeah, and that person who took my virginity was you, Mr. Arrogant. The words burned on my tongue, but I just rolled my eyes instead.


His expression brightened with what looked like pure amusement, as if this entire conversation entertained him.


"You still haven't answered whether you accept my apology."


I found myself biting my lower lip as my eyes dropped to the floor.


"Do you require privacy to continue gnawing on those lips?"


My head shot up, meeting his intense stare, and heat flooded my cheeks instantly.


"I..." I cleared my throat, forcing steadiness into my voice. "I'll only accept your apology under one condition."


The smile vanished from his face immediately. Clearly, Kermit Shadowmere despised having conditions imposed on him.


Yet he remained silent, waiting for me to continue. "Promise me you'll never call me a slut again. Because I'm not one."
