Crimson Heart

Synopsis

A sacrifice she didn't choose. A love he didn't expect. A secret that could destroy them all. Charlotte "Charlie" Beaumont is a pawn in a high-stakes supernatural game. To secure a strategic union for the Werewolf Alliance, her parents have arranged for her to mate with Steve Leon, the unhinged and violent heir to the Leon Pack. Refusing to be a sacrificial lamb, Charlotte flees to San Francisco, hoping to find refuge with her brothers Jude and Austin. When she's assaulted after leaving a bar, Byron Gallagher comes to her aid. The attraction is instant, explosive, and strictly "no strings attached"—or so they think. The second son of the deposed Gallagher Alpha, Byron, is nursing a grudge against Charlotte's brother for exiling his father, killing his brother, and snubbing his sister. When he discovers his mystery woman is actually a Beaumont, he wonders whether their encounter was a setup meant to subdue him and accept Jude as his new alpha. But the game changes when the Leon Pack tracks Charlotte down, bringing with them a deadly ultimatum and a dark secret that could ruin her family. Steve Leon is more than just a bad match; he's a monster from the past who will stop at nothing to claim what he was promised. As betrayal and desire collide, Byron must decide if his thirst for vengeance is stronger than his growing love for Charlotte. To save her from a life of abuse, he will have to risk everything—his life, his pack, and his soul—to take down the Leons once and for all. In the Werewolf Alliance, loyalty is everything, but love might be the most dangerous secret of all. Werewolf Alliance New Blood Crimson Heart Forbidden Mates
