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."

Ylana made her decision right then. "I think we should. That way we can know if we're . . . compatible that way.” She heard Rowan's breath quicken. "If you want."

The Garnet Wolves

Ylana’s alarm went off at three o’clock in the morning, and she immediately regretted ever wanting to plan Thanksgiving. Rolling out of bed while Rowan snored his head off, Ylana hoped it would all be worth it in the end. 


She took a cold shower before putting on some leggings, a sweater, and knee-high boots. It was the outfit she had planned for the day, but makeup could wait. Ginger had texted her four times while she was in the shower and three times when she was getting dressed. Ylana didn’t bother to reply. Ginger would just have to wait until Ylana had a coffee in her hands. 


“You’re late,” Ginger said as soon as Ylana entered the kitchen. 


Ylana thanked Rebecca for the coffee that she handed to her and looked at the time. “I’m only late by two minutes.”
