THE ALPHA'S DEBT

Elena Marchetti walks into Nikolai Voss's glass tower office with one goal: trade her own future to erase her father's two-million-dollar debt to the city's most feared crime family. What she does not expect is for the billionaire don to recognize her, instantly and irrevocably, as his mate. Nikolai Voss is not just a shipping magnate with a spotless public reputation. He is the last Alpha of an unbroken wolf bloodline, and the moment Elena walks through his door, every wall he has spent eight years building around his heart starts to come down.

But Elena is not simply a debt to be settled. Within hours of her arrival, a rival wolf mafia family draws blood on Voss territory, and Elena discovers she is not the ordinary woman she believed herself to be. A dormant bloodline is waking inside her, one that both the Voss and Volkov crime dynasties may be willing to go to war over, and a shadowy third power, patient and ruthless, has been engineering the entire crisis from the beginning.

As Elena is pulled deeper into a world of blood oaths, silver bullets, and ancient ritual law, she must decide how much of herself she is willing to trade for safety, and Nikolai must learn that loving someone fiercely enough to protect her is not the same as controlling her. Between them stands a debt that was never really about money, a war that was never really between their two families, and a bond neither of them chose but both of them come to need.

A dark, possessive, slow-burn paranormal romance about a woman who refuses to disappear into anyone else's story, and the wolf who falls for her precisely because she won't.

Perfect for readers who love alpha mafia bosses, forced proximity, fated mate bonds, morally gray family dynasties, and heroines who fight for their own agency even while falling hopelessly in love.
