He needed a bride to end a war. She needed to survive. Neither expected their fake marriage to ignite a bond that would change everything.

I was the princess's shadow?her stand-in for speeches, signatures, and apparently, the Alpha's bride.

When Princess Hayley vanished, I became her replacement. One night. One ceremony. One lie to prevent a war that would destroy thousands.

Solomon Raine is the most feared Alpha in the northern territories. Powerful. Dangerous. And absolutely certain his new bride is hiding something.

He should have exposed me. Should have called off the wedding when his wolf recognized I wasn't who I claimed to be.

Instead, he married me anyway.

Now I'm trapped in a world of pack politics and supernatural power, pretending to be royal while falling for a man who could destroy me with a single word. Every stolen kiss makes the lie harder to maintain. Every night in his arms makes the truth more dangerous to reveal.

But when the real princess returns demanding her life back, I discover Solomon has been keeping secrets too.

The crown was fake. The name wasn't mine. But every touch, every kiss, every moment of falling in love? That was terrifyingly real.

Now I have to choose: Fight for a love built on lies, or walk away from the only man who's ever made me feel like I belong.

But Solomon Raine doesn't let go of what's his. And his wolf has already claimed me as his mate.
