A kidnapping. A fated knot. And an heir who will burn down his inheritance to keep her.

Nell Odhiambo knows how powerful men work — they take what they want and ask the women at the table to fetch them a coffee. Though she is the most competent person in every room she enters, she’s the last one to get credit for it. After witnessing a murder, not with guns but with claws and fangs, she’s shoved not into a corner, but into a cabin in the woods and blackmailed into corporate espionage by the most dangerous man she’s ever met. Because Magnus Blackwood is a wolf in a tailored suit.

Magnus Blackwood has had one job his entire life: become the Alpha his father built him to be. That means securing the pack, honoring the arranged marriage his parents negotiated, and never — under any circumstances — letting desire become a liability. Keeping Nell close after she witnesses a pack execution is a calculated decision. Wanting her is a cost he didn’t calculate. And discovering she’s his fated mate three weeks before his arranged wedding is the kind of variable that turns a calculated decision into the most consequential choice of his life.

The pack needs the alliance. His wolf needs her. And Nell — brilliant, furious, entirely unwilling to be managed — is busy dismantling his enemies, unchaining his heart, and trying to decide if wanting to stay is the same as being willing to be kept.
