"Unapologetically raw and deliciously filthy, Shepherd & Claire's dark, gritty story is an emotional punch to the gut!" - Anna Zaires, New York Times bestselling author

Claire's defiance is the only thing standing between Shepherd's ruthless ambitions and the total destruction of her city.

A cruel smirk plays at the corner of his scarred lips as the largest, most dangerous Alpha Claire has ever encountered rakes his gaze over her with brazen hunger. The intensity of his stare leaves no doubt—she is something rare, a prize in a sea of Alphas starving for an Omega of their own. That she is desirable. Vulnerable. And that she is desperate for his help.

He denies her plea and claims her as his own, Claire forced to become his ultimate prize, his prisoner, his mate, and his all-consuming obsession.

Shepherd doesn't just crave Claire's submission—he hungers for her heart.

He wants a willing kiss. She desires only freedom.

Determined to escape, Claire longs to protect her people from Shepherd's tyranny. Knowing that failure to stop him would mean a fate far worse than death for those she loves. For Shephard is determined to torture every last soul in Thólos. To laugh as they suffer. And to get his revenge for what they did to him.
