The Alpha Prince's Temptation

Opal Hart is trapped by duty, forced into an arranged marriage to the Alpha Prince—a man she’s never met, never wanted, and can’t imagine loving, who has a terrible and cruel reputation. The night before her wedding, desperate for one fleeting taste of freedom, she shares a passionate encounter with a stranger who promises her a sliver of the connection she craves. The next day, she’s meant to stand at the altar to meet her husband and resign herself to a life of sacrifice. But her new world is far more dangerous than she imagined. Whispers of betrayal and schemes swirl around her, and she soon realizes she’s not just a wife—she’s a pawn in a twisted game. And somewhere in the shadows, the man who once held her so intimately isn’t ready to let her go. In a dark and cruel world, will Opal end up a pawn, or will she find a way to claim her own destiny?
