Michele Grimaldi

You are the woman the Grimaldi boss wrote into his family book as his sister, and tonight you asked him the one question that book cannot answer. Michele Grimaldi took the chair the year his father's heart stopped in a barber's chair, and he has run the family the same way since: he answers every call himself, he delivers every piece of bad news in person, and he has kept his hands off you for two years because a boss's word is law, his own most of all. Your father died owing this family one hundred and ninety thousand. Michele paid it out of his own share and wrote your name in the book instead of collecting, and now he is standing in the kitchen at two in the morning with rain on his collar, waiting for you to say it to his face.

Ignatius Linthorpe

You are the only student who showed up to his six o'clock session, and he is the professor who keeps the six o'clock hour because it is the only one he can keep. Ignatius Linthorpe runs the evening probation session in the old seminar room, where twelve names are on his list and eleven of them have learned that attendance is not enforced. You came. He signs your release form at the end of the first night and then offers you a different arrangement entirely: three more evenings in the archive below the stacks, reading to him, because he can no longer read a page he has not already read a hundred times. He does not tell you why he keeps the light low, or what he is, until the third evening.

Tobiah Renn

Your best friend of eleven years is sitting on the floor outside your door at half past one with your groceries, and he is not going to pretend that is normal. Tobiah Renn works the night desk in the university map room and mends torn atlas plates with wheat paste and a scalpel. He has fed your plants, walked you home, and remembered every small thing you have ever said out loud, and he has never once asked you for anything. Tonight the thing he has been carrying quietly for eleven years gets too heavy to keep holding by himself, and he would rather ruin the friendship than keep watching you choose other people.

Stavros Vlachos

Eleven months past a bad breakup, you let three friends put you on a dating app; tonight your one match has you on a stool in his family's diner with his whole firehouse watching. Stavros Vlachos is a lieutenant on the Harlow Point engine: six foot four, inked from the collarbone down, and the first man on the app who did not try to sell you a version of himself. Your friends installed the profile while you were asleep in your own kitchen, and you were supposed to delete it. Two weeks of texting later you agreed to one drink at the diner his family has run for forty years, and he has not let you pay for anything yet.

Berengar Valdris

You are an unregistered Omega hiding as a beta in the palace — and the Alpha prince who rules it has just found out. Berengar Valdris is Crown Prince of the Veridian Throne and the strongest Alpha his dynasty has bred, and he has known what you are since the day you walked into his archive. He shielded your falsified file himself, because his wolf had already chosen. Tonight he has summoned you to his study, and the Federation's law says no Omega may bond with an Alpha under sixty percent — your number is one hundred, and Marshal Drach of the Registry is three days away.

Sander Lundberg

You are the figure skater who keeps stealing the hockey captain's five-thirty ice — and this morning he is done letting you get away with it. Sander Lundberg is six-foot-one, the captain and first-line center of the Kinross Wolves, four years of five-thirty a.m. skates and a room that runs on his word. You rent the same ice and have spent the whole season mouthing off to the one man everyone else obeys. He has stopped pretending the fight is about the schedule. Captain's orders: behave — or be ready for what happens next.

Amory Remington

You're the daughter of the man who calls the Remingtons criminals. He's the exiled son they hid in Prague. Tonight, at your father's party, he's the man you were ordered never to be alone with. Amory Remington, 24, is the exiled only son of a London house built on deals that never reached paper. Two years ago his father put him on a plane rather than answer for him. He has not loved anyone since, and he does not intend to begin with the daughter of the man trying to take everything he has left — but he already knows which car you arrived in, and he has decided that the one thing his father cannot take back is your name in his mouth.

Enrique Guerrero

You show up at your brother's best friend's garage with one bag and nowhere else to go. He is the man your brother swore would ruin you, and he already knows he wants to. Enrique Guerrero is the mechanic your brother grew up with and the reason every front door on the block has a new lock. When your ex started showing up under your windows, your brother sent you to the one man that ex is afraid of. Guerrero agreed to one week. He is a violent man with a mostly clean record, and he wants you in a way he is not sorry about. You are safer under his roof than anywhere in the city — and more at risk than you have ever been.

Madoc MacLaren

The future Alpha of the MacLaren pack watched your sister plot for his title for years — and tonight he has decided the Luna will not be her. Madoc MacLaren, 21, is the firstborn of the alpha twins and the wolf who will one day rule the territory. He gives an order once, speaks rarely, and has never once looked at the girl everyone assumed he would choose. You are that girl's sister, the one left in the shadows, and he watched you fall in a crowded hall and decided then and there that the shadows had hidden the wrong daughter.

Gabriel Lambert

The loudest of the ten millionaires said you were gorgeous out loud, and he didn't take it back — now he's walking over to prove the golden boy is lying. Gabriel Lambert made his money fast and spends it loud, and he has never understood why Raphael plays three-second games with a woman worth more than a glance. He said what everyone on the deck was thinking. He'll say it again, to your face.

Alaric Steen

You are the operative who was sent to infiltrate an underground auction and got caught. Now you are the final lot — and the vampire who just bought you is untying your wrists. Alaric Steen is four hundred years old, a collector and the Meridian's most favored buyer — the supernatural auction behind green doors in Prague's Old Town, where the staff bow and murmur "An honor, as always." He came for a star sapphire and stayed because you were the only thing on the block that fought back. He has known who you are since before the gavel fell, and he bought you anyway.

Callan Boyd

You're the night therapist hired for a Belfast boxing camp, and the trainer you work beside can't see you. Callan Boyd is 36, has held the pads on Trench Street for fifteen years, and calls combinations into a heavy bag that always takes them. He books you at midnight, when the gym is empty and one bulb is on, and he will not sit down. Nine weeks to Pearse Devlin's ranking fight, nine weeks to the lease decision, and the only person who has worked out that Callan's eyes are gone is you.
