For three years, I was Alpha Brennan Dawson's dirty little secret. By day, I was his efficient, wolfless assistant. By night, I was the only one who could calm the beast in his soul. Then his chosen mate, Kassie, came home, and the man who'd held me hours before looked at me like I was furniture. His first order of business was to erase his past.

I stood there, taking notes, while he dictated the terms of my own erasure, the ultimate insult slapping me in the face. He had no idea. He didn't know the girl he'd rejected in a dark corridor was me. He didn't know the woman he was paying to disappear was the same one who'd spent the last three years warming his bed.
