WHAT THE MOON SIGNED AWAY

Five years ago, Ivy Hale buried her brother. Three years ago, she found out who killed him. Tonight, she has to decide whether the man she loves is worth burning it all down for.

Ivy has spent half a decade undercover inside the Marchetti wolf mafia empire, building a case against the alpha who ordered her brother's death and buried it like a shipping delay. She has a fake name, a flawless cover, and exactly one rule: never get close enough to anyone in that house to be seen.

She breaks her own rule the night Salvatore Marchetti catches her somewhere she shouldn't be, and instead of exposing her, he covers for her without knowing why.

Salvatore is everything his family raised him to be: enforcer, heir apparent, the second most dangerous man in the city. He has spent fifteen years being his brother's weapon and telling himself loyalty and love were the same thing. He does not know that the woman he's falling for is the federal case that could end his entire family. He does not know she's falling too, and that neither of them planned for this to stop being a mission.

When the truth comes out, it costs them everything: his trust, her cover, and any illusion that this could end simply. But five years of careful lies were never a match for what grew underneath them. Now, with his brother closing in and the case teetering on the edge of collapse, Salvatore has to choose between the only family he's ever known and the woman who taught him what honesty actually feels like. And Ivy has to decide if love is worth more than the justice she gave up everything to find.

What the Moon Signed Away is a slow burn, high stakes werewolf mafia romance about the brutal cost of secrets, the particular ache of loving someone you've lied to, and the kind of love that survives being fully, mercilessly seen. Perfect for readers who love possessive alpha heroes, morally complicated families, enemies to lovers tension, and a hard won happily ever after that actually feels earned.

Some secrets are worth keeping. This one was never going to stay buried.
