When love isn't enough to save a marriage built on borrowed time.
-----
Alyssa thought being a second chance mate meant getting a real shot at love. Three years of marriage to Alpha Damien Blackwood taught her otherwise. The moment his first mate returns with tales of captivity and torture, Alyssa becomes expendable—a placeholder who's overstayed her welcome.
Accused of crimes she didn't commit, stripped of everything she holds dear, and carrying a secret that could change everything, Alyssa faces the ultimate betrayal: rejection and banishment from the only home she's ever known.
But fate has a twisted sense of humor. As the mate bond shatters, another snaps into place. Alpha Alaric Roman—mysterious, powerful, and claiming her as his own—stands between her and exile. Two Alphas. One woman. And a child whose existence could destroy them all.
Sometimes the Moon Goddess gives second chances. Sometimes she gives third ones. But when the past refuses to stay buried and enemies wear familiar faces, Alyssa must decide: fight for a love that was never truly hers, or embrace a destiny she never saw coming.

In the game of mates and fate, everyone plays to win. But only one can claim the prize.
A tale of betrayal, second chances, and the dangerous game of hearts where love and power collide.
