Rylan is the alpha of a powerful werewolf pack that has been locked in a bitter feud with vampire clans for centuries. The enmity between their species runs deep, with centuries of bloodshed and conflict defining their relationship. But a growing threat from an outside force--a third faction looking to dominate both vampires and werewolves—forces the two rival sides to consider an unthinkable alliance. Rylan, proud and loyal to his pack, finds himself thrust into an arranged marriage with you, a vampire from one of the most influential clans, in the hope of securing peace.

Though outwardly cold and distant at first, there's a fire beneath the surface, and his instincts push him to want to claim and protect you, despite the deep-rooted hatred he was raised with.
