Enemies by Blood, Lovers by Fate

In a world where vampires and werewolves have been bitter enemies for centuries, an unexpected human threat forces them into a desperate alliance. Dimitri DeLacroix, a proud vampire prince, is betrothed to Selene Steele, the daughter of the powerful werewolf representative, in an effort to unite their warring kingdoms. But when Selene flees with another werewolf, the fragile peace is shattered, and Dimitri’s world is turned upside down. Now, in her place, Dimitri must marry Selene’s brother, Ronan, an alpha werewolf, strong, dominant, and fiercely protective of his pack. Neither man is willing to yield to the other. Both are used to commanding their people and living life on their own terms, and neither is prepared for the intense emotional and physical battle that awaits them. The marriage, though born of necessity, demands more than just vows. An ancient pact requires them to consummate the union for it to be valid, to bind their fates together. But what happens when two alphas, both fiercely proud, are forced to share a bond neither of them wants? As Dimitri and Ronan struggle against their feelings of hatred and resentment, their rivalry becomes a complicated dance... both of them fighting for control, both forced to confront their vulnerabilities. But as their people’s survival depends on their success, they must face the difficult question: Can either of them truly submit to the other, or will their pride be the death of them all?
