Aria’s life has been carefully planned and closely monitored. She’s the sister of the Alpha. Which means dating is pretty much not an option. After a kidnapping brings her very unexpectedly face to face with her fated mate, she’s forced to acknowledge some hard truths. He’s the villain. Isn’t he? His track record looks bad from afar but the closer she gets to him, the more she sees the truth beneath. His wolf is sick and they’re running out of time. He needs a pack. But will her pack ever accept him after what he’s done? Or will Aria be forced to choose between her mate and the family and friends she’s known her whole life?

Lark wasn’t born a lycan, and he never expected to find a mate. His life was nothing but torment and darkness before he found Aria. He’s drawn to her, and so is his wolf. His beast is unpredictable and too powerful for him to control. Lark wants to stay away from Aria to protect her. But the more he fights fate, the more he finds Aria in his arms—and bed. His magic can only do so much to keep him hidden from those hunting him. He’s playing a dangerous game, one that could end up costing Aria her life, or Lark his human form. Will his wolf take control, permanently? Or will his fated mate find a way to save them both before it’s too late?
