Seraphina’s fated mate rejected her to marry the Lycan Chairman’s daughter - Adrian Valois’s precious Camille. As if that wasn’t brutal enough, he destroyed her family and tried to force her into becoming his secret mistress! Seraphina’s answer? “I’d rather be with your future father-in-law than ever submit to you!” Adrian is notorious for his power, wealth, and being the ultimate playboy who never touches the same woman twice. But Seraphina’s about to shatter all his rules… over and over again.
