The Aurem Covenant: Chosen
In a Washington, D.C. where three ancient wolf families have quietly ruled the city's shadow architecture for generations, Alpha Marrock Voss stands at his father's funeral pyre and makes a silent vow: he will uncover the traitor inside his own circle who put the most careful man he has ever known on the flames.
Across the city, human artist Simone Adaire is simply trying to honor her mother's memory and protect the careful boundaries she has drawn around her life and her work. She has spent years declining every offer from the city's powerful wolf collectors. She has no interest in their world, and her mother's fate taught her exactly why she should stay out of it.
Then a motorcade passes her on an ordinary October night, and something long-sealed inside her cracks open.
What begins as a charged confrontation over a rejected acquisition quickly becomes something far more dangerous and far more inevitable. Marrock is a man who does not leave things unfinished. Simone is a woman who has never bent for anyone. He finds her insufferable, stubborn, and impossible to command. She finds him entitled, arrogant, and used to a world that has never told him no. When the space between them narrows, the pull becomes something neither of them can outrun, a slow-burning hunger that turns confrontation into surrender and then into a bond that will consume them both.
The connection flaring between them is older and more powerful than either of them is prepared for; a lineage that runs through her blood back further than the wolves themselves, and a calling the goddesses of an older world have already made on her behalf.
As Marrock hunts the traitor who killed his father and Simone's dormant power begins to awaken, they will have to reckon with the secrets buried in their bloodlines, the enemies already moving inside the pack, and a truth neither of them is prepared to carry.
The Aurem Covenant: Chosen is a dark, sensual, high-stakes paranormal romance of fated mates, enemies-to-lovers tension, slow-burning desire, and the dangerous cost of power set against the glittering and ruthless backdrop of Washington, D.C.'s hidden supernatural world.
