Alpha's Blood-Sport Debt

Evelyn Vance was born into a world of glittering privilege, but her fortune was built on a secret: her father's uncanny skill as a forger. When his greatest deception implodes, Evelyn is left as the only remaining asset—a stunning, sharp-witted human offered as collateral to settle a debt in the brutal, hidden underworld of supernatural power.Her new owner is Kaelen Rook, the reigning Alpha of the city's most dangerous shifter clan. A man of ferocious will and terrifying power, he is less a captor than a force of nature. He doesn't want a trophy; he sees in Evelyn a weapon. Her brilliant, pattern-seeking mind could be the key to unraveling the schemes of his ancient rival, the vampyr Peer Silas Vane.Trapped in a gilded fortress, Evelyn must navigate a deadly game where the rules are written in blood and old magic. To survive, she must use her only talent—deception—to aid the very man who holds her leash. But as she forges lies to protect Kaelen's empire, a deeper, more dangerous truth emerges: the line between prisoner and partner is blurring. The cold, calculated Alpha is becoming something else—an obsession, a protector, a claim on her soul as undeniable as the debt that binds her.As betrayal coils around them and ancient powers awaken, Evelyn faces an impossible choice. She can use her artful lies to win her freedom… or she can use them to secure Kaelen's victory, and in doing so, bind herself to him forever.In a world where contracts are sealed in blood and power is the only currency, one woman will discover that the most dangerous forgery of all is the one she crafts around her own heart.
