Sometimes, the devil you don't know may be better than the one you know. Jessica is desperate to do whatever it takes to escape an arranged mating with a man she despises and she's nearly out of options until Kaden Braithwaite, future alpha and heir to the Braithwraite's fortune offers her a way out in the form of a fake mating arrangement. For Kaden Braithwaite, finding a possible cure for the genetic disorder that had claimed the life of his mother and older brother was his main goal in life but right when he is on the edge of a breakthrough, his father throws a wrench in his plans by ordering him to take a mate and assume his responsibilities as the alpha of the Lithia Pack or lose the billion dollar funding for his research. With no options left than to do what his father wants, Kaden strikes up a deal with equally desperate Jessica who agrees to pretend to be his mate for the next six months, and afterwards, they both go their separate ways. Pretty straightforward, right? Wrong. Jess and Kaden soon realise that their mutual attraction and the mating instincts may just make things a little more complicated than simple.
