I’m offered as a forced bride…to the Alpha who rejected me. I’m used to psychological abuse. I’m the lowest of the pack, the outcast. What I didn’t expect is that my family would sell me off to an Alpha. What I didn’t expect either is that my new husband is the one who once broke my heart…
I once loved him and thought he was my fated mate. But then he told me he didn’t want me and left me callously. I endured my miserable life, conditioned to serve other people’s needs. And now he’s back, forcing me to marry him, taking me from one prison to another.
I’m supposed to live with his violent pack and his dark past. His house has only one bed, and I try not to feel his body warmth. But I can’t protect my vulnerable body from his cruel, cold touch. I can’t guard my unwilling heart from his crushing, icy tongue.
Will the Alpha break me once and for all this time?
Sparkle Hollow is a small paranormal town where wolves howl to the moon, mates chase each other through the woods, and alpha males claim their women until their bellies grow with the proof of their love…
Lyra Atlas was born in Oakland to an English mother and Scottish dad who passed on to her their fascination with the Arthurian Legends and other tales of famous kings and queens. Unsurprisingly, Lyra developed a penchant for court love and everything that’s magical and mystical—and this seeps into her writing. Her stories often feature powerful alphas braved by quietly seductive females and other unexpected, inspiring heroines.
Lyra lives with her partner Mark in San Diego, and cherishes their daily strolls along the Strand. When looking for inspiration, she goes for a hike in the charming mountain town of Julian where she will lose herself observing the Victorian-style houses and quaint stores, envisioning stories of bygone lovers, their stolen hearts, kisses and touches.
Omega Leah (h) never expected her life to be easy, but being rejected by Killian (H), the man she thought was her mate, shattered her world.

With betrayal, family drama, and a battle for survival, Leah has to find her strength, and Killian must prove his devotion, as they try to heal old scars and build a future together. Hot and steamy wolf shifter romance, exploring love, connection, second chances, resilience, healing, family, forgiveness, and belonging.
H and h met years previously and they were mates. I was trying to do some calculations in my head and I think h would have been about 16. 🤷♀️ Anyway H rejected her because he thought he was “saving” her. He regretted it so much he slept with many women during their time apart *charming guy*
h has some nasty parents who are looking to climb the social ladder. They are super nice to h in public but abuse her behind the scene. They want her to marry an alpha.
Surprise! The alpha h is to marry is H. She is NOT happy but she still marries him. He’s so glad to have her back. He’s slept with two twins before and they are quick to tell h how they enjoyed his penis. Yeah….awkward.
Most of the book deals with H trying to win h’s trust. His disturbed brother comes around and causes problems. So they are also dealing with that. I see that the brother’s book is next
The spice is very strange. Almost monotone when the author is describing the acts. I’d rate it 2 out of 5.
Leah has been abused by her parents and ignored by her pack, when she meets Killian, her young heart falls for him and when he rejects her, she is devastated. Killian had made a vow to be there for his younger brother, and that is the reason he left Leah. He regretted it from day one, but thought she would never accept him back, so he didn’t try. Now, her parents want her to marry an Alpha, so he becomes an Alpha so he can have her. She is not pleased, to say the least. Once again, we are treated to strong Alphas who won’t take no for an answer, strong she-wolves who lead them a merry chase and an adversary they have to overcome; all together making another great read. I voluntarily received and reviewed an ARC copy of the book.
This was a good enjoyable second chance shifter story that's about Leah and Killian. Killian rejected Leah years ago and now he has a chance to make it up when her family lets it know that they're looking for an alpha mate for her. Killian refused her to support his brother Jasper forming his own pack and being his second in command. What occurs when Killian talks to his Alpha Jasper about forming his own pack and asking for Leah as his mate was an engaging story with likable characters, romance, and drama and action that kept me entertained. I'd volunteer to read and review this copy I'd received.
Killian rejected Leah years ago not realizing the horrible situation he as he left her in an abusive home. Now her parents decided to use her to elevate their pack position but Killian claims her. The story follows the building of their relationship and the effort to support provided by the Pinedale packs.
He left her and slept with others she took him back with no grovel
Yet another book where the mmc leaves the FMC because other things are more important. Sleeps with other women. Of course the FMC is still a virgin and pining. Takes him back very quickly with no grovel. If I could give 0* I would
