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

Rowan finished making breakfast on the day of departure from his family’s Poconos home. 


The week alone with his wife had been wonderful. They spent a significant amount of time in bed tangled with each other, and their trip had started with the most wonderful news – he was going to be a father. So, he spent most of the trip spoiling Ylana, knowing she had a difficult road ahead. Carrying one baby was enough, and Ylana had two. 


Ylana was seated on the couch in the living room, so Rowan carried a plate over to her. 


Ylana took it and smiled. “You don’t have to do this, you know. I am capable of walking around.”


Rowan put his hand on her head to stroke her hair. “Use the excuse to be lazy. I’m pretty sure neither of us will be resting much once the babies are born.”


Ylana took a bite of her scrambled eggs. “Hmm. You do have a point.”


“I’m a genius, I know.” A knock on the door took Rowan out of his bliss. “That must be Jack.”
