Betrayed by her fiancé and stepsister, Stella buys a mysterious, dangerous man named Kael on the black market for just a hundred dollars to save face. Little does she know, he is a severely wounded, fallen Lycan king. Stepping in as her male companion, Kael helps her steal the spotlight at her own engagement party and utterly crush her enemies. But as the full moon triggers a terrifying transformation, bloodlines awaken, and a web of family conspiracies and Lycan rebellions unravels. What began as a mere contractual alliance evolves into a soul-binding connection, as they fight side-by-side to crush the crisis and claim a transcendent, cross-species love.
