His fangs,Her cure

Elara spent her last savings to buy a broken fox shifter from an underground auction. She nursed him to health and watched him rise from nothing to CEO in two years. In return, he mocked her hearing loss, called her worthless, and left her to be attacked on a cruise ship.

When all hope is gone, serpent shifter Riven steps in. He saves her, heals her wounds, and reveals a secret: she once freed a trapped black snake years ago. He never forgot.
