It began when a rose-like smell assaulted his nose. 

Ylana Sapphire and Rowan Garnet are the children of two mafia bosses. To build an alliance between their families, their fathers arrange a marriage between the two.

Rowan is reluctant because he and his family are secretly wolf shifters and Ylana seems to hate both the plan and Rowan for unknown reasons. But all that changes when Rowan discovers that Ylana is his mate.

Now Ylana is left not only navigating the new world of shifters but marriage within the mafia world as well. 

What could go wrong?

Rowan cleared his throat. "You know, we don't have to do anything tonight, or ever, if you don't want. One of the couches has a pull-out bed I can sleep on."

The Garnet Wolves

It was just after lunch when Ginger came to join Rowan, Harkin, and Carmine in Harkin’s office. As she passed by Rowan, she gave his head a few pats before taking the chair next to his. 


“You’ve been making quite the impression on our Ylana recently,” she told Rowan. 


The exhaustion Rowan had been feeling washed away. He straightened in his seat and grinned at Ginger. “Really?”


“Yup.” Ginger crossed her legs. “She was telling me and Rebecca all about your date last night. You’d think she was floating on a cloud with how joyful she was.”


“That’s good to hear,” Harkin said with a watery voice. “I’m glad you two are getting along.”


“Yes. Promising.” Carmine didn’t seem too into the conversation. He was looking at something on his tablet with a frown, and Rowan assumed it had to be about the investigation into either the elevator incident or the shooting.
