Maxim Thorn is a ruthless Alpha, a mobster king who rules his pack with an iron fist. He's also my only hope.
As a shifter from the wrong side of the tracks who's just been rejected by my abusive fated mate, I don't have a lot of options in this city.
I have no choice but to make a deal with the devil.
But that doesn't mean I'm powerless. I have an ace up my sleeve, a bargaining chip Maxim can't resist. He wants revenge on my pack leaders for poisoning his father, and I hold the key to his enemy's destruction.
In exchange for one month of protection from my ex and his friends, I promise to give Maxim what he wants-me.
I expect honoring the bargain to be pure hell. I don't expect to ignite every time we touch or to develop a soft spot for this wounded wolf. His blood calls to mine, and I'm starting to think this wicked king may have a heart after all.
But is there room in his world for love? Or am I destined to become a pawn in his dark game?
