The Duke He Rejected

London watched the Duke of Ravensmoor reject his fated mate in a ballroom of two thousand. London will be talking about it for a decade. Lady Aline Ashcombe has never shifted. Not once, not on a moon night, not in her mother's arms. When the Moon-sworn Prophecy names her mate the cold Duke Lycias of Ravensmoor, the season expects a wedding. Instead the Duke offers for her cousin at his own betrothal ball and Aline becomes the curse of the ton. But Aline's wolf isn't missing. It's bound — and only Ravensmoor blood can free it. To break the curse she takes a post as a widow-companion in the Duke's own household, under a name he can't trace and a scent he can't forget. The Duke's wolf knows. The Duke won't admit it. And Aline intends to unbind herself at his masquerade, on his marble floor, in front of the entire pack — and walk out as the woman he refused. A steamy rejected mate werewolf regency romance with an icy duke and a lady who keeps her own counsel.
