I'm about to get married under the witness of the Goddess of the Moon. However, Carl Erickson, my partner of ten years, doesn't know it yet. Carl has recently hired a new assistant—Ivy Keating. Everyone in the wolf pack knows something amorous is going on between them; they frequently "discuss work" until the wee hours of the night. A celebration that's supposed to be for our anniversary turns into Ivy's birthday celebration. Carl orders a ten-layer mango cream cake for the celebration—it's Ivy's favorite. They get cream everywhere, but they've forgotten I'm seriously allergic to mangoes. A regular mango is as lethal to me as wolf venom is. I'm taken away by an ambulance to be rescued, and I'm alone when I wake up. Carl is still at the party, celebrating Ivy's birthday. My wolf growls unhappily, and my love for Carl dies. It's then that I agree to the marriage my family has arranged for me. I'm going to marry a true Alpha.

I'm a killer who accidentally sleeps with a mafia boss twice. The first time, I walk away without saying anything, leaving behind nothing but a note and a bank card. "Fantastic night. Thanks." The second time, he lands himself at the top of the killer hit list and has a sky-high bounty placed on him. Later, he traps me in his room as I fade in and out of consciousness, drowning in his presence. He holds my hand and aims my gun at himself with a chuckle. "You're shaking so badly. Can you even keep your gun steady?"

Year 3610, ten years after the great interstellar war. Space pirates and Void forces plague the galaxy. Thorne, former Star Marshal and weary of war, lives incognito on Neon Star, running a quiet bar with Ileah, heir of the Mogul clan. But Ileah’s broken engagement offends the Abyss family, and the Shadow of the Void covets her rare healing ability. Enemies close in. Thorne sheds his disguise, defeats the Abyss heir and a Void squad leader, and returns with Ileah to the Eight Great Clans. Lord Regan of Abyss and Void Commander Dexter strike back. Thorne wields lightning, spatial arts, and nanotech armor to crush them, uniting the Eight Clans to destroy the Shadow of the Void. Yet when the battle ends, an alien claw emerges from a deep-space rift — a new cosmic crisis begins.
