The Alpha's Forbidden Alliance

A forced alliance. A forbidden bond. A war that only their love can stop.For eight years, the Ashgrave and Kelthorne wolf packs have hated each other over a fire neither side ever explained - a night that took Liora Ashgrave's brother, and left her carrying a grief sharpened into hatred for the enemy pack across the border.Now her dying father has one last card to play: marry his daughter to the very Alpha she blames for that fire, and buy both starving packs a peace neither can survive without.Ronan Kelthorne lost his own brother that same terrible night. He has no more reason to trust an Ashgrave bride than she has to trust him - until the two of them, thrown together inside his cold mountain Hold, discover that the fire that orphaned them both may never have been about hatred at all.As Liora and Ronan dig for the truth buried beneath eight years of manufactured war, the enemies-to-lovers marriage neither of them chose begins to feel less like a political sentence and more like the one thing worth fighting for - even as a conspiracy older than their grief moves to tear it apart before it can ever be named a true bond.Court intrigue. Slow-burn tension. A love neither pack was ever supposed to allow.Perfect for readers of enemies-to-lovers romantasy, forced-marriage and marriage-of-convenience shifter romance, rival-pack werewolf sagas, and slow-burn paranormal romance with political stakes, epic court intrigue, and a fated bond that refuses to stay buried.This is a complete, standalone werewolf romance - no cliffhanger, a full and satisfying happy ending. Romantic tension runs high throughout, with intimacy handled tastefully off the page.
