Zephyr recognizes a man as her past lover who disappeared from her life 10 years ago. Now that she has found him, she literally jumps on him and they start making out lool. However, he has no memory of her due to a traumatic experience (amnesia trope basically).
But she goes to his office and proposes a marriage deal, where she will reveal secrets she knows of him after 6 months. She also needs to get married before her 29th birthday in order to inherit her grandmothers stuff (according to her grandmothers will). Alpha agrees in order to get the secrets. Because Zephyr still loves him, she does everything she can to tease him, talk to him, seduce him etc in order to jog his memory and trying to get him to remember her and their past. But in between everything: people are stalking her, someone is murdering girls and trying to frame Alpha. Things start to speed up after a while, and that's when the plot around the Syndicate properly starts I would say.
The beginning was a bit slow as it follow them two and their interactions mostly, but the storyline from the previous books follows, and a huge secret is revealed right at the end. Characters from the previous books are also shows up, but the main storyline revolves around these two.
I loved this book and Zephyr. Honestly I would just recommend you read it.
I didnt give it 5 stars, because I thought stuff was a bit slow in the beginning and I felt like something actually happened around 70%, but I kept picking this book up nonetheless cuz small details are sprinkled here and there (until the tension rises and the darker elements of this universe becomes the plot agian).
