The Beta's Borrowed Bride
(2026)(The second book in the Blackwood Pack series)
A novel by Danielle E Voss
A fake engagement. A real Bond. Four hundred and twelve boxes of archived healer records, and
no good way to explain any of it.
Eli Calloway needs a problem solved: the Riven Pack's Alpha has formal courtship intentions
aimed at his daughter, aimed at Eli, and the summit is in four weeks. The solution is a fake
engagement with someone he trusts. Someone capable of the performance. Someone who
absolutely will not make it complicated.
He asks Petra Voss.
Petra says yes — partly for the archive help he offers in exchange, and partly because four days
in a different pack's territory is four days away from the proximity that's been draining her
health for seven weeks. She has a diagnosis. She has a treatment protocol. She just hasn't
admitted yet that the treatment involves Eli Calloway specifically.
The arrangement is supposed to be simple. Hold his hand at the formal dinner. Say the words.
Convince one Alpha's worth of audience. Go home.
Nobody warned Petra that hand contact was going to feel like coming home. Nobody warned Eli
that he was going to spend four days in a lodge with a shared wall, unable to stop noticing that
her headaches were getting better.
The arrangement ends. What they built in the archive does not.
THE BETA'S BORROWED BRIDE is a fake engagement wolf shifter romance with a Beta who
expresses love through optimised schedules and memorised translation keys, a healer who
speaks in clinical language and means every word of it, and a Bond that has been running for
three years while both of them called it something else.
Perfect for fans of slow burn romance, fake dating done right, and heroes who show up with
exactly the right coffee before you've asked for it.
⚠ Contains explicit content, four hundred and twelve boxes of archival records (indexed), and
one Beta who memorised a healer notation system in week one and found this completely
unremarkable.
Standalone HEA. Part of the Blackwood Pack Series.
Genre: Romance
