Unyielding Mates (A Game of Hearts Desire Book 2)

by Lilinoe K. Russell

About this book

The televised mating show A Game of Heart’s Desire was supposed to be a calculated trap, a strategic move to lure the elusive Resistance into the light. Now, as the newly crowned Alpha Queen, the stakes have shifted from mere survival to the ultimate test of loyalty. For a woman who built her empire on cold, hard business tactics, choosing a mate feels like the most dangerous negotiation she has ever faced.

The competition is not made of strangers, but of ghosts from a past she tried to bury. The men vying for her hand are the same figures who once knew her as the shy, broken girl she used to be. Now, she is a powerhouse who relies on no one, yet these suitors force her to confront old wounds and resurfacing desires. In this high-stakes paranormal romance, the line between ally and enemy dissolves, turning every camera-ready moment into a potential betrayal.

If you crave a gripping shifter series that balances dark, complex themes with the tension of a reverse-harem, this is your next obsession. With a magnetic enemies-to-lovers dynamic and a narrative that expertly weaves past trauma with present-day danger, this story will keep you breathless until the final page.

I usually don't like books that go back and forth from past to present, but these books so far keep you so invested you have to know what happens next. I can't wait for the 3rd book. )

The first book i was hooked immediately! I absolutely love all of the characters the way its written bouncing from present to past usually books like that are hard to follow but this one wasn’t. I couldn’t put it down and read both books in 2 days. I cant wait for the next one! I definitely didnt see it coming that toby is actually her mate not tyler that definitely blew my mind. Especially when in the beginning it seemed tyler was more in love with her then “shadow” so i definitely didnt see...

This series so good!! I could not put it down. The characters depth and the back ground story. The complexity with the characters. I’m beyond shocked I haven’t seen this series everywhere. Normally I get frustrated with going back in time constantly but this story wow. The way the book is set up and the plot. Everything in this book has a purpose for what the author is building. I can not wait for the next book. )

Love love love this series!
