BLURB“He ruined her peace, she ruined his control.”*************************Ariella Hastings had been married to her mate for two years without ever consummating their bond. Her world shattered the moment she realised the reason behind his distance. Corbin Sterling planned to divorce her once she became sick, so her heart could be used to save his first love, the woman with the weak heart he had always truly cared for. She was just a walking organ donor. The truth broke her completely, and she decided she would no longer allow herself to be used. But walking away came with a cost, if she divorced her mate, all of her wealth would automatically be transferred to him because of a pack rule she had once ignored. Refusing to lose everything she built, she made a desperate decision: she would cheat and force him to be the one to divorce her.The plan was simple. She arranged for a man to pose as her lover, create the perfect scandal, and finally free her from the marriage that had become a shackle. But everything spun out of control when, in a moment of reckless pain and vulnerability, she slept with a stranger that night instead. Horrified, Ariella fled the hotel, only to come face-to-face with that same stranger at a family banquet, where she discovered he was her mate’s uncle, a powerful and feared Alpha.She thought they could bury that night forever, but things took a darker turn when she realised the Alpha didn’t want the secret forgotten. He wanted her completely, and he didn’t care if she used him to destroy the nephew who had wronged them both.
