She was taken to the castle to bear a prince's heir. She never expected to become his mate.
Maddie Stone will do anything to save her starving family?even surrender herself to the royal family that caused their suffering.
Chosen as a potential breeder for the heir to the Crystal Waters throne, she leaves her drought-stricken farm for a glittering castle filled with wealth, cruelty, and women competing for a prince she has never met. Maddie expects to be judged, used, and eventually sent home.
She does not expect Prince Zachariah.
Still grieving the mate he lost, Zach wants no part of his father's barbaric search for a breeder. He already has a plan to end it: convince the kingdom that a trusted friend is his second-chance mate and send every innocent woman home.
Then he meets Maddie?and the bond between them destroys every careful lie.
She is poor, inexperienced, and entirely unsuitable for a future king. She is also the first woman to awaken Zach's heart since tragedy shattered it. But someone inside the castle is determined to make sure Maddie never claims him, and the Alpha King has no intention of allowing a farmer's daughter to interfere with his plans for the throne.
As enemies close in and a foreign prince sails toward Crystal Waters, Maddie must decide whether to return to the life she knows...or fight for a love powerful enough to transform an entire kingdom.
Because Maddie may have entered the castle as a breeder.
But the Moon Goddess has chosen something far greater for her.
Continue the next generation of Rose and her Alphas' family in this emotional reverse harem wolf-shifter romance filled with fated mates, royal intrigue, danger, and a heroine whose destiny is only beginning.
