Dual Identity Romance

Abstract

Ella thought she had married the perfect man—Julian, whose "family business" always seemed shrouded in mystery—until the arrival of their neighbor, Silas, shattered her calm life. Silas, a gentle and well-read middle-aged professor, became her source of comfort during Julian's frequent absences—and slowly, she found herself drawn to him. But when Julian's location pinged from Silas's home, Ella—furious and heartbroken—confronted him at gunpoint, demanding the truth. The shocking truth? Julian and Silas were the same person all along. A werewolf cursed by ancient magic, doomed to live with two human forms—one young, one older. He had orchestrated this double life just so she could learn to love every side of him. And when the full moon revealed his true werewolf form, Ella realized she had fallen deep into a supernatural trap of love and fate. "I can be whatever you need me to be—but you have to accept the truth: you are my mate."
