Unyielding Mates (A Game of Hearts Desire Book 2)

by Lilinoe K. Russell

About this book

The game begins. The stakes are higher. And the truth is finally coming to light.

I joined the televised mating show A Game of Heart’s Desire for one reason—to lure my enemies into the open.

If the Resistance wants me dead, they’ll have to come through me first.

Alpha Agnus named me the next Alpha Queen. But power comes with a price: I must choose a mate. Fine. I’ll play the game the way I play everything else—with strategy. I’m a successful business owner, after all. Finding a mate can’t be that different from negotiating a partnership.

Except the men competing for me aren’t strangers.

They’re ghosts from my past.

Once, when I was the injured, shy girl everyone overlooked, I gave them my heart. Now I’m something else entirely—a powerful Alpha Queen who doesn’t need anyone.

Or so I keep telling myself.

As the cameras roll and suitor after suitor steps forward, old memories refuse to stay buried. Past loves resurface. Old wounds reopen. And the line between allies and enemies begins to blur.

Because the deeper I dig into the Resistance, the more I realize the truth is far more dangerous than I ever imagined.

Betrayals may not be what they seemed. Enemies may be closer than I thought.

And when the game ends, I’ll have to decide who I can trust…

with my crown, my life—

and maybe even my heart.

Unyielding Mates is book 2 in A Game of Hearts Desire Series. It is a paranormal romance with dark themes, multiple love interests, and a strong female main character that will not have to choose between them. Book 2 ends on a cliff hanger.

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. )

hooked immediately

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...

mind blown

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!
