The Alpha's Ever After (Chalys: Ilie and Soleil #2)

Soleil Orpheline, society’s reigning belle by day and battle-hardened soldier by night, has given the wolf she’s meant to spend her life with an ultimatum.

Fall in love with me, she tells the dangerous, powerful, and gorgeous Marquis of Lunare, if you want me to be your heartkeeper.

But of course, this is easier said than done, especially for a seemingly heartless alpha like Ilie Marcovici. Unbeknownst to the wolf, it’s also a gamble that her life rests on the hinges of: Soleil is cursed, and it’s a ticking time bomb that only heartkeeping can save her from.

Still, Soleil is determined to keep her secret. She’s vowed to herself never to chain a man to her side for all eternity - even if he were a half-demon like Ilie, whose seductive kisses and heated caresses threaten to make her forget her very name – without love.

And so it begins, a race against time…with both hearts and lives at stake.
