Tonia Alexa lived a life of scorn. Mocked for the scar that marred her face, her own mate cast her aside the second he secured his power, leaving her shattered and convinced she was unlovable.
Then came a single night with a stranger. He was the first man who didn’t see her scar, the first to make her feel desired.
That one night was a secret they both carried. For Tonia, he was a dream. For him—the ruthless Alpha King Kermit—she was the only woman who had ever given him release, an obsession he couldn’t forget.
Five years later, she’s forced into a marriage contract with that very same man. Just as his cold exterior begins to thaw, a devastating lie rips them apart. His memories of her are stolen, and the man who once desired her now sees only a traitor.
Tonia wants to flee. But with her stolen children’s lives on the line, she has to fight. To reclaim her family, she must face a world of dark power and deception, ruled by the man who holds her heart but no longer remembers her name.


My legs bounced against the floor in a nervous rhythm as I sat on the bed's edge, arms wrapped tightly around my torso. Every muscle in my body trembled with a combination of cold shock and pure terror.


The clock on the nightstand seemed to mock me. Forty minutes had crawled by since I made that desperate phone call. Where was he?


I pushed myself up and started pacing, my fingernails scratching at my scalp whenever the anxiety peaked. The sound of the front door finally opening made me spin around like he was my last hope for salvation.


"What's wrong?" Kermit rushed toward me, concern etched across his features.


He probably expected the worst after I'd called demanding he come home immediately.


"Everything." The word came out sharp and bitter. "I'm completely losing it and I need answers."


"Hey, slow down. Tell me what happened."


I squeezed my eyes shut and forced myself to breathe deeply.
