I Swapped My Cruel Mate for the Beast He Feared

In a future where humans bind themselves to shifters, Ruby Vale gives up everything to save Lucien, a proud fox who only answers her with scorn, pain, and betrayal. When she finally turns away from him and chooses the feared war-bred wolf Blaise Hawke instead, her world shifts. Blaise may terrify everyone else, but with Ruby he is steady, protective, and unashamedly devoted. As Lucien learns too late what he lost, Ruby faces a choice between the hurt that shaped her and a love that never hesitates to claim her.
