He called her nothing.
Christmas morning. Two hundred witnesses. The Alpha of Silver Moon used his command on the woman he’d spent the night with, watched her crawl across his floor, and married someone else before sunset.
Emily Hale was eighteen. Pregnant. Alone. Her father disowned her on letterhead.
Six years later she has a daughter Nick doesn’t know about, a fashion empire she built from a kitchen table and a borrowed sewing machine, and a hatred for Nicholas Blackwood that she wears like bone.
Her daughter falls sick, and only he can fix it.
Then he moves into her building. One floor below. He says their daughter is dying without his bond. He says he’s not leaving.
She says over her dead body.
He stays anyway. Coffee at her door every morning. Her cabinet fixed without being asked. Purple flowers because she once said roses are lazy. He learns her coffee order, her daughter’s shoe size, the way her head tilts right before she lies.
She fights him on every front. Because the last time she loved this man she ended up on a floor. She won’t survive it twice.
But their daughter is getting worse. The sessions need him close. His warmth. His hands. His presence in rooms she built specifically to keep him out. And the closer he gets to saving her child, the harder it gets to forget the man who swore he’d love her forever.
He broke that once.
Can she forgive the man who destroyed her if he’s the only one who can save what she loves most?
