Every girl in Rachel’s sorority wants the smoking hot mechanic next door, herself included, but a man is the last thing she needs in her life - especially a tattooed single dad with a reputation as a badass.

Dillon Keck knew Ashlyn Mayson was drunk when she suggested they get married. He knew he should have taken her back to their hotel room.

Having Dillon, her boss, insist they stay married is absurd. But someone isn't happy for Dillon and Ashlyn and their newfound romance, and they're willing to do anything to keep them apart.

Once I had it all, but tragic events changed my trajectory, and now I’m raising my daughter alone. When an old friend gets an unwelcome message from her ex, I jump in to play the part of pretend boyfriend. Harmless, right? But I wasn’t counting on her touch awakening things in me.

I never wanted a mate. Until I was put in chains. Strapped down. And claimed. I always believed I could analyze any situation until I found a solution. Solve any problem if I just applied my brain. I went to university, studied science and told myself my academic cocoon would protect me from the alphas dominating our society. I was wrong. No textbook prepared me for my meeting with test subject 351. The biggest, scariest alpha on death row, hauled into my lab to uncover how to control the beast of a man.

I always believed I could analyze any situation until I found a solution. Solve any problem if I just applied my brain. I went to university, studied science, and told myself my academic cocoon would protect me from the alphas dominating our society. I was wrong. No textbook prepared me for my meeting with test subject 351. The biggest, scariest alpha on death row hauled into my lab to uncover how to control the beast of a man. But there is no controlling the feral alpha, and no logic strong enough to save my mind once he unleashes his fury on my body.

He sacrificed everything for me. The beast who took me against my will and tied my soul to his so tightly I can no longer breathe without him. He sacrificed his freedom. His life. For me. They say love will make you do anything, give anything. But what’s between him and I - it isn’t love. It’s a bond. And my destruction.

My mate became mine during a heinous experiment designed to punish her for her disobedience. The scientists who locked me in a cage and stole my humanity gave her to me to ravage. To break.

She fears me, but there is nothing I won’t give to save her. Even my own life.
