When Eli Ravenscar is forced to marry the Shadow Pack's Alpha King as a substitute for his runaway brother, he expects cruelty. What he doesn't expect is Draven Ashcroft's ten-year obsession with a dead lover named Lyle — and the slow realization that the ghost he's competing with is the only thing standing between them. Trapped in a gilded cage of contracts and collars, Eli discovers the Moon-Born power buried inside him, flees to claim his own crown, and raises their son alone for three years. When Draven finds him again, stripped of his throne and kneeling at his door, Eli must decide: is forgiveness a bridge they can build, or is it already too late?
