As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the city, Sophia and James knew that their love, born from an unconventional ride, was the greatest adventure of all...

Chapter 1 The Proposal

Sophia De Luca fiddled with her pearl necklace in front of the mirror, her eyes raking over the reflection of her designer gown. She was a vision of elegance, the perfect image for the charity gala her family's company was hosting tonight. But a knot of nervousness twisted in her gut.

"Miss De Luca, your car is ready," her butler announced with a slight bow.

"Thank you, Robert," she said, her voice even despite the nervousness she felt inside.

Coming down the great staircase of her mansion, she was met by James, her trusted chauffeur. Tall, with a chiseled jawline and bright blue eyes, James had been working for the De Luca family for almost five years.

His professionalism was unquestionable, and Sophia trusted him with her life.

"Evening, Miss De Luca," James greeted her as he opened the car door. His British accent added a touch of sophistication to his already polished demeanor.

"Good evening, James. Thank you for being punctual," Sophia replied as she settled into the back seat.

On the way to the gala, Sophia was thinking fast. She needed someone to accompany her for the night, to keep the constant barrage of questions concerning her love life from both the media and her nosy relatives at bay. Her last relationship had gone terribly wrong, and she did not feel like parading a new suitor so soon.

"James, can I ask you something personal?" Sophia broke the silence.

"Of course, Miss De Luca. I'm here to help in any way I can," he replied, looking at her in the rearview mirror.

"I need you to be my date tonight," she blurted out.

James's eyes widened slightly, but he quickly hid his surprise. "Your date, Miss De Luca?"

"Yes. I need someone to act as my husband for the evening. It's just for show, to keep the press and my family off my back."

James considered her request. It was unconventional, but he understood the pressure she was under. "If you believe it's the best course of action, I would be honored to assist you."

Relief washed over Sophia's face. "Thank you, James. You're a lifesaver."

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?
