Moonbound Contract Bride

The council tore Mara Voss’s moonmark from her skin—and before she could bleed out, they chained her to a wounded fugitive everyone in the city wanted dead. Ronan Vale had one breath left to live, one secret in his blood, and one demand: marry him now, or lose the rest of her stolen memories forever. He was supposed to be her enemy, yet his touch awakened memories someone had ripped from her mind. He could hear the truth buried inside her—and he knew what really happened the night her mother died. As they flee through sealed tunnels beneath the city, their fake marriage contract tightens into something dangerously real. But the contract isn’t protection. It’s the key to an ancient prison—and Mara’s stolen moonmark is sealed inside Ronan, alongside the beast threatening to consume him. Will she trust the man who may hold the truth… or kill him before the council unlocks what should have stayed buried?
