The city skyline glittered in the night as Olivia Reed stepped out of the cab, adjusting the hem of her midnight-blue dress. The towering glass building before her wasn't just any venue-it was the headquarters of Vance Enterprises, owned by the man she never thought she'd see again. Alexander Vance. Billionaire. CEO. Her first love... and her biggest regret. It had been seven years since she walked away from him, leaving behind the kind of love most people only dreamed about. But tonight, fate had brought them back together. Olivia wasn't here for romance-she was here for business. Securing a deal with Vance Enterprises was the only way to save her struggling company. What she didn't expect was the storm in Alexander's piercing blue eyes when he saw her. "You," he said, voice smooth but laced with something unreadable. Olivia swallowed hard. This was going to be much harder than she thought.
Olivia Reed had no business standing in the marble-floored lobby of Vance Enterprises. The chandeliers overhead sparkled like constellations, and everyone around her was dressed in designer labels she couldn't pronounce. Still, she held her head high, clutching the sleek black folder that contained her last shot at saving her company.
Her heels clicked sharply against the polished floor as she approached the reception desk. "Olivia Reed. I have a 6:30 appointment."
The receptionist gave her a once-over that made Olivia regret not borrowing something fancier than her navy-blue blazer. Still, the woman nodded. "Take the private elevator to the top floor. Mr. Vance will see you shortly."
Mr. Vance. The name made Olivia's chest tighten. She hadn't heard it in years-not since she left New York and the life they almost had.
The elevator doors opened with a soft chime. As she stepped inside, her reflection stared back at her from the mirrored walls. Calm. Collected. Unshaken.
But the moment the doors opened to the executive suite, all that confidence cracked.
Because standing at the floor-to-ceiling window, looking every bit the billionaire he had become, was Alexander Vance.
He turned. Their eyes met and her heart beats increased.
And the world fell away.

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.

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?

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin.
