He marked her to save her life.
Then he rejected her to save his legacy.
And she spent three years becoming his greatest enemy.
Sloane Mercer was never supposed to be claimed by the cold, untouchable CEO of Vax Industries. When Caspian Vax marked her in a server room to protect her from powerful enemies, it was meant to be temporary. A business decision. A shield. Nothing more.
But when the board demanded loyalty to forbidden laws and legacy bloodlines, Caspian chose his empire over the bond he created. He rejected Sloane publicly, erased her from his world, and left her with a Frozen Mark that burned like betrayal.
Broken and exiled, Sloane disappeared.
She returned as Dr. Amanda Voss—billionaire strategist, corporate predator, and the woman determined to dismantle the empire that destroyed her.
Now she’s back in his boardroom.
Back in his life.
And back in his blood.
Forced into proximity by ancient pack laws, trapped under one roof with the Alpha who broke her, Sloane refuses to forgive. Every touch ignites the bond. Every argument exposes buried desire. Every heartbeat reminds them that what was marked was never truly severed.
But Caspian has secrets.
The rejection was never about power.
It was about sacrifice.
About choosing her life over his future.
As enemies close in and forbidden laws begin to crumble, Sloane must decide whether vengeance is worth losing the man who gave up everything for her… or whether love can rise from betrayal and ice.
A high-heat paranormal romance filled with rejected mates, forced proximity, ruthless CEOs, corporate warfare, forbidden bonds, emotional redemption, and soul-deep passion. Perfect for readers who crave powerful heroines, groveling alphas, slow-burn tension, and unforgettable happily-ever-afters.
