Harper Cole has been preparing her whole life to become her pack’s next Alpha. When her father gives the title to her youngest brother, Harper will proposition a fellow Alpha with a fake marriage, hoping to reclaim her position as heir.
Asher Black, Alpha of the Rising Moon Pack, is struggling to lead his Pack and get rid of his controlling uncles when he is offered a strange proposition from a beautiful young wolf. As Harper and Asher fight to secure their positions, their fake relationship will be tested…as will the growing feelings between the two. 

“Prove it.” Julius says.
“What?” Prove what? I don’t need to prove anything to them. Why is it so hard for them to understand I’m getting married?
“I don’t believe this is real,” Dean agrees, adding fuel to Julius’s fire.
I glance at Harper, nervous. I knew this was going to happen. They’ve figured out straight away this is fake. Did we not appear in love when we entered the room?
“Of course, it’s real,” Harper smiles at me.
She gives me a look, indicating she is either going to do something good or bad. She grabs me by the collar of my shirt and pulls me towards her. From instinct I close my eyes and commit to the pretend relationship. Our lips brush each other’s, and I can taste strawberry. They’re soft, warm and inviting. I hope it appears that sparks are flying around the room. I ignore the little butterflies in my stomach.
“Like I said,” Harper smiles wide when we pull apart, “We’re getting married, and I’m leaving tomorrow.”

A Marriage of Alphas

The way Harper is looking at me makes want to retreat into myself and never come back out. Her eyes are usually loving and bright, but there is hatred and fire behind them. I haven’t found the courage to speak a word yet, because I’m afraid of the outcome.


“There was no need to lie,” Her voice is firm and sad, “We’re in a fake marriage, you can love whoever you want but don’t lie about it to my face.”


She throws the piece of paper onto the desk, refusing to look at me, “For a moment, I thought we were beginning to move out of the fake world into something that was real.”


My mouth is so dry, but I can’t keep allowing her to get in her own head about the situation, it’ll only make things worse.


“It is real,” I say, taking a step forward, “I wasn’t lying to you at the time.”


“I don’t believe you,” Harper snaps.


“Zoey means nothing to me anymore,” I plead with her. I need her to believe me.
