“Giovanni was a girl of "worthless" rank, or so they told her. When she's hand-picked to marry Russell Van-Doren-the most ruthless, cold-blooded billionaire Alpha in the tri-state pack-she thinks she's found a miracle. She walks down the aisle with raw sincerity and a reckless sort of hope, unaware that her "miracle" was actually a transaction. Russell doesn't want a wife. He doesn't want a Luna. He wants a clean, high-grade breeding vessel to carry the heir that will solidify his claim over the mafia underworld and the pack's legacy. In the bedroom, he is a storm; in the morning, he is ice. Then came the positive pregnancy test. Trembling with joy, she thought this was the turning point. She thought a child would finally make them a family. Instead, she walked into a conversation that shattered her soul. She wasn't a wife. She wasn't a partner. To Russell, she was nothing more than a biological necessity-a "clean" vessel acquired to incubate an heir and secure his legacy before being discarded. Heartbroken and terrified, Giovanni made a choice. She wouldn't let her child be raised by a monster. She faked her death and vanished. Five years later, the timid girl is gone. In her place stands Dr. Giovanni Kove, a genius surgeon with lethal beauty and a heart of stone. She has returned to the city not to hide, but to dominate. But the game has changed. Russell isn't the only one watching her now. Caught between her vengeful ex-husband who wants his heir, and Xavier-the dangerous, charismatic rival who wants to burn Russell's empire to the ground-Giovanni holds all the cards. The man who once looked at her with disgust is now on his knees. But does he want forgiveness? or is he just hunting his prey?”
