Hannah -

We all come to the sian homeworld with hopes and dreams. But I've learned the hard way that some promises are fairy tales. I haven't seen my bondmate in weeks. I barely feel him anymore. The only pleasure I get comes from working at the club. I'm not supposed to have favorites, but Hazard was my first within these walls, and he's the one I'd reschedule my life around if I needed to. But our time is limited.. Some other woman will eventually bond to him, and unlike mine, their bond won't be a broken, mangled thing.

But on a seemingly random evening, my world is shattered, and the secrets my bondmate hid nearly killed me. And it doesn't look like they're going to stop trying any time soon.

Hannah is everything I want, and everything I can't have. She might spend any night I ask with me, but she's not mine. Maybe I'm a fool, but I'll take anything I can get. When her bondmate dies, our worlds are turned upside down. and not just because it's clear someone is trying to kill her for the money the man left behind. I can protect her. Whether or not I can keep her is another matter
