Married in secret to the love of her life, Marie Austin knew that she had to keep her feeling inside. This marriage was arrange and she had to prove herself to be a part of the Sydney family. She was a nobody to them, while they ruled this city, she was just a low level employee in the company. Before she could be seen as Darius Sydney's wife, she had to prove herself.

Chapter 1 Married in secret

Marie had always been ambitious when it came to her career, but she lacked the backing and attitude to get very far in a corporate world. Being the punching bag for your family would do that a person. She was the legitimate child of the Austin family, but was treated as the child of the mistress, while her half brother and sister got all the praise and attention.

When her mother got sick after giving birth to her, her father went out and found himself between another woman's legs. Marie was sure her mother died of heart ache more than her illness. But in the wake of her passing, Marie was left with a father who treated her like less than a servant, and a step mother who saw her as the scum of the earth.

Her half siblings were raised to hate her, she was alone in the world, and only her nanny, Patricia, ever truly cared for her, so when Marie was arranged to marry a man she never met, she was both sad and excited to be leaving the house that never felt like home to her.

Darius Sydney was a powerful man. The only reason she was made to marry him and not her sister, is the rumors that he was a cold man and also the fact that he refused to marry an illegitimate child. Everyone knew the story of the Austin family, no matter how much her father and step mother tried to change the story.

So now, here Marie stood, in a simple white dress at the court house to sign the papers with Darius. He barely glanced at her, took one look, nodded and signed. Marie was confused, but also signed her name, making her the lady of the Sydney family if only in name.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
