Marked by the Rogue

Seven years. One lie. Evelyn gave everything to a mate who hid her like a dirty secret, until the night she tore the bond apart and walked away with nothing. Then she saves a little girl from a feral bear, and the girl calls her “Mommy.” The girl’s father is Roman Ashford, the most feared Alpha in the territory, cursed with a royal-blood affliction that turns a woman’s touch into torment. Every woman except one. Evelyn’s touch doesn’t wound him. It cures him. Three years. Five million dollars. A contract to become his Luna. It’s supposed to be business, but every brush of her skin pushes Roman closer to the edge he swore he wouldn’t cross before their mating night. As her ex refuses to let go and a buried secret about her child surfaces, Evelyn must decide whether this contract is a second chance or a bigger heartbreak.
