Courtship's Conquest
Their future hinges on a promise.
In the wake of her mother’s death, Camille Solbourne is determined to follow through with her deathbed promise to arrange a union with a suitable partner and get out of the Solbourne family. A union is cold, more business than love, and negotiating them is a dangerous political dance. It’s not what she wants, but sometimes happiness is found in compromise – and keeping one’s promises.
Their choices haunt their past.
Nearly twenty years ago, Viktor Hamilton, alpha of San Francisco’s lone coyote shifter pack, let his mate go. Becoming someone his pack could rely on for safety and guidance is the only thing that kept him sane in the long, lonely years that followed. When the opportunity to make a life-altering choice for the betterment of his people arises, he makes a promise to see it through.
What he doesn’t expect is for the world to change around him in the blink of an eye. After a volatile run-in with Camille reignites the flame between them, he knows he can’t leave the past alone. The only thing standing between them is their fraught past and Camille’s furious determination to tie herself to another man. Pursuing Camille means gambling with the future of his pack, but Viktor won’t let his mate go a second time – even if it means he has to put his life on the line to keep her.
