My mate adopted me. Then he ruined me.  The night I turned eighteen, my Alpha didn’t just claim me—he bred me.

He was the king of the coastal pack, the man I wasn’t supposed to crave. One bite. One bond. One mistake he tried to erase by marrying someone else. He sent me away like a dirty secret—not knowing I carried his child.

Six years later, I return as the head of the Coastal Trade Guild, stronger, untouchable…  But the moment our eyes meet across the negotiation table, he’s seconds away from claiming me all over again.  His gaze feels like it’s about to devour me whole.

But there’s a secret he doesn’t know—Our children carry his blood… and the curse that comes with it.  And this time, saving them means letting him ruin me all over again.

Title:  Alpha Daddy’s Sinful Mate
Series:  Moonbound #1
Author:  Flora R. Leigh
Published:  November 13, 2025
My Rating:  4 stars

Alpha Daddy’s Sinful Mate is the first title in the Moonbound series.  Lysia was adopted by Ulrich after her parents were murdered, and she suffered abuse at the hands of her relatives.  He was fully aware that she was his fated mate, and in his mind, he was protecting her at any cost.  That cost would rise higher than expected when Lysia reached adulthood and realized that the man who had rescued her was actually her fated mate…and had hidden that fact from her.  One amazing, sensuous night would result in twins, and the fairytale of their happy ending was crushed when Ulrich rejected her the next morning…again “protecting” her from the curse of his family.  Yeah, right, protected her, jerk.  She fled the pack, not knowing that she’d take more than a broken heart with her.  Years later, she would return… and their past would be dealt with once and for all.

Lysia and Ulrich’s story is full of lies, betrayals, and danger.  Watching this couple work through all the repercussions of Ulrich’s actions was fascinating.  I enjoyed their story; it’s well-written, passionate, and full of a wide range of emotions.  If you love a complicated Shifter Romance, then you’d enjoy Alpha Daddy’s Sinful Mate by Flora R. Leigh.
