Mated? No. Never. The last thing Garik Denikon would do is willingly tie himself to a woman. That would require a level of trust the ruthless assassin didn't allow. Yet, here he was. On the run, escaping from an enemy, with his bonded mate at his side. Saedra had one chance. Only one, to grasp freedom and escape. So she took it with both hands locked tight to the dark-haired man in her father's dungeon. She didn't care about his deadly reputation or the rumors. Garik Denikon was worth the risk if he helped her to get away.

His baby? Not possible. Assassin Sulen Czen wouldn’t trust a woman outside the bonding vow to bear his child and he had no plans on settling down any time soon. Until the day pain and terror unlike anything he’d ever known before resonated along a connection that shouldn’t exist. Now he’s willing to fight for the family he didn’t know he had or needed. Her mate? Actions have consequences and falling in love with the wrong man was just the first mistake of many. After the man she loved denied the baby she carried and threatened her life, Amelie Haven did something she knew was wrong. Now she has to deal with an assassin who’s stolen her heart and a cruel ex who won’t stay out of her life. Both are claiming her daughter as their own. Amelie would do whatever it took to protect her child. Even if it meant pretending a relationship that shouldn’t even be possible
