Human doctor Alice has been married to Damian, Alpha of the Moretti pack, for three years. He is cold during the day but unusually tender after 9 p.m., and she takes those nights as proof of his love. After becoming pregnant, she discovers that he constantly protects Viola, the woman who once bullied her. He even misses Grandma’s final moment to pick Viola up on her return from abroad. When his older twin brother, Raphael, appears, Alice begins to suspect that the men beside her by day and by night are not the same person.
A recording confirms the truth: Damian tricked Alice into marriage to take revenge for Viola, then had Raphael impersonate him every night. Alice wants to leave with her unborn child, but their abuse causes her to miscarry. She joins other victims in making the evidence public, hires a lawyer to handle her divorce, and joins an international medical aid team.
The brothers follow her to a war zone, but their belated apologies and help cannot win her back. After a year of aid work, Alice returns to Havenport and resumes her medical career. She also begins a relationship with Gavin, a peacekeeper. They have come to each other’s aid and treat one another with respect.
