I always thought that arranged matings were an archaic tradition best left in the past -- but when the unity of two powerful Packs hangs in the balance, even I have to admit that there's no way to reason with Fate. Poised to inherit a billion-dollar real estate empire, Amara Marcian should have been happy. But when she's forced into an arranged mating with an omega from a rival pack, every plan she's ever had is thrown into chaos. The Lightcrest Pack demands unity with the PineRidge Pack, and this union is their way of securing it. At first, Amara seethes with resentment and mistrust towards the omega that has been chosen for her, unable to reconcile their vastly different backgrounds. But as Amara spends spend more time with Lena, she begins to uncover surprising similarities and a sizzling chemistry that binds them against all odds. But there's a catch: Lena is already carrying a child from a failed mating, and she harbors deep-seated grudges against her own family and the very Alpha she's now being tied to. Can Lena put aside her chaotic past for the sake of this reluctant but powerful bond? Or will old wounds and familial duty tear the two apart before love has a chance to bloom?
