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.


The dinner with Kermit felt surreal. Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined sitting across from him in an upscale restaurant, sharing a meal like civilized people.


Other than Lucien, I had never really done this before with anyone else.


The conversation flowed surprisingly well between us. I found myself genuinely amazed that Kermit could actually engage in normal dialogue without his usual intimidating demeanor.


"So tell me about your life, Tonia," I found myself saying while cutting into my perfectly cooked steak. "What exactly were you up to before coming back to Ambercrest?"


Months ago, if anyone had predicted that Tonia and I would be sitting together in an elegant restaurant, sharing dinner and conversation, I would have laughed in their face.


Yet here we were, and I was completely captivated by her infectious laughter and every word that left her lips.
