Aelwen Thorne thought marrying Preston Caldwell would secure her future, but on her wedding day, she discovers his betrayal. Determined to steal her family’s fortune and abandon her, Preston leaves Aelwen humiliated and powerless. But fate gives her a second chance. Reborn on the day of her wedding, Aelwen refuses to be the helpless woman she once was. This time, she will fight back and reclaim everything that was taken from her. Just when her life seems to be falling apart, a mischievous five-year-old wolf-shifter, Kael Holt, crashes into her story. As the heir to the powerful Holt wolf clan, Kael has a bold plan of his own: he wants Aelwen to become his new mother! Without hesitation, he takes matters into his own little hands, bringing Aelwen—and her enormous fortune—straight to his cold, intimidating father, Alaric Holt, the ruthless High Lord of the Holt clan. Aelwen offers Alaric a deal: she will give away her fortune to help those in need if he protects her family and frees her from her former marriage. But Alaric is intrigued by the mysterious woman whose scent awakens something unfamiliar within him. When Preston arrives at Holt Castle to reclaim his bride and gold, Aelwen finds herself caught between old enemies and a dangerously powerful Alpha. Then Alaric delivers an unexpected ultimatum: “Marry me tonight.” With revenge on her mind, a little wolf determined to play matchmaker, and a cold Alpha who may be more than he seems, Aelwen’s second life is about to become far more complicated—and far more thrilling.
