The Null Bride

“My true fated partner is standing right here.” Evan’s announcement shatters Layla in front of the entire city—because the woman beside him isn’t her. As she flees the humiliation, Cole Black, the cold HQ enforcer, blocks the exit and orders her to stay for questioning. He claims she’s connected to an eighteen-year-old case, but Layla has no scent, no mark, and no place in the Sensor system. Yet whenever Cole touches her, his enhanced senses short-circuit—and the harder he tries to contain her, the more fiercely he’s drawn to the invisible woman he was never meant to find. Then Layla uncovers the truth: she isn’t defective, but a forbidden “Null” subject, and both Cole and Evan carry modified blood designed to track her. When HQ orders her capture and Cole’s powerful ex-fiancée returns to reclaim him, Layla must choose: disappear forever—or let the entire world see the dangerous truth inside her.
