Book Description
The bond said he was her fated mate. But everything about him felt like a trap.
Forensic psychologist Vera Calloway has built her career on exposing lies—the manipulative, the delusional, the dangerously convinced. So when a supernatural bonding mark appears on her wrist at a crime scene, she doesn't fall to her knees in wonder. She opens a case file.
Silas Vorne is the last heir of a dying supernatural bloodline, desperately in need of a bonded mate. He didn't plan for a woman who'd analyze his every move, recognize every psychological tactic, and refuse to accept that fate was anything but a story told to control people.
But someone engineered this bond—for reasons far darker than love or legacy. And the closer Vera gets to the truth, the more she realizes: she wasn't chosen despite her ability to see through lies.
She was chosen because of it.
