Tara Landon has never experienced love–even worse–she’s endured a lifetime of beatings. After reaching her breaking point, she decides to run away to start a new life without anyone pinning her down or holding her back. 

However, not far into her journey, she is intercepted by soon-to-be alpha Victor Bane, a brooding, mysterious, emerald-eyed man. The thought of him scares Tara as much as it arouses her. 

She doesn’t think much of the encounter until she learns that…oh, she’s destined to be Luna of Victor’s pack. The freedom she sought is quickly ripped away from her and she must make a decision: to accept or reject her fated mate.

“I have you for a lifetime, Tara. I can be patient,” he relayed with an erotic moan.

He looked me in the eyes, as I gestured for him to unbutton my blouse. I whispered, “You might be patient, Victor. But, it isn’t polite to keep a woman waiting.”

“What will it take for you to say yes?” he asked lustfully.

“Something you can’t give.”

Angry, frustrated tears made their way from my eyes, and I felt my nose burning from the coldness of the air around me. Again, I was wrapped in a night unkind, with the cold air and the even colder company. 


I didn’t know if Victor could tell whether or not I was lying through my teeth. I didn’t stay long enough to find out. The hurt expression on his face, the way his slight smile, that damn perfect, dangerous smile that he was holding on his face, finally dropped. And I couldn’t help the feeling of accomplishing something wash over me.
