The last witness

Bethann_Smith
Mara wakes in the middle of a violent storm with no memory of who she is or how she got there. A stranger drags her into a speeding SUV, insisting he’s saving her life. Helicopters circle overhead. Gunfire splits the night. Someone is hunting her—someone who knows exactly what she is. According to Daniel, the man who rescued her, Mara escaped from a classified facility hidden deep underground. According to the flashes of horrifying images tearing through her mind, he might be telling the truth. But the truth is worse than she imagined. Mara wasn’t born. She was created. Built in the likeness of a brilliant scientist. Modeled on a lost prototype who still haunts her dreams. Engineered for a purpose she doesn’t understand—and may not want to. Now she’s running from the very people who made her, hunted by a deadly prototype designed to replace her, and surrounded by secrets others have died to protect. To survive, Mara must uncover the truth buried in her missing memories— before the past she can’t remember destroys the future she’s barely begun to hope for

Dark bargain: The Wolf's Bride

DARK BARGAIN The Wolf’s Bride Her father sells Rose to a monster. The beast calls her bride—then bows as if she is royalty and whispers, “Found you." At sixteen, Rose is traded to Prince Lucien to save her dying sister, the one person she cannot bear to lose. Hidden in an ancient forest, Lucien’s mansion holds a vanished bride, a locked west wing, and a silver collar restraining something monstrous. By night, Lucien becomes a black wolf. Beautiful, cold, impossibly old, and somehow familiar with Rose’s name, he claims to protect her while watching her like prey. He offers tenderness with one hand and tightens the leash with the other, insisting he wants only what was promised—though every glance suggests he has awaited Rose long before she was born. As their dangerous attraction grows, Rose uncovers a buried bargain, a blood curse, and a ritual planned for the next full moon. Lucien says it will save them both, but refuses to name the price. Her blood may free him, yet kill her—and leave her sister without the cure Rose was promised. Someone is lying. Perhaps Lucien is telling the truth in the most dangerous way possible: giving Rose just enough of it to make surrender feel like her own idea. Before the altar claims her, Rose must learn why she was chosen and decide whether saving her sister is worth surrendering her freedom, her future, and the part of herself Lucien is awakening. He may want her heart, her blood, or both—and the more fiercely he tempts her to trust him, the less certain she becomes that his desire is a weakness she can use. She must choose whom to betray, and whether the monster she fears is the only one who has ever offered her a choice. Some bargains are inherited. The most dangerous are made before you’re born.
