But if she stays, it means betraying the fragile trust of the man who saved her life in Garimore. Torn between her duty and her debt, Leisa is forced to flee with Kyrion, leaving behind the only home she can remember for the uncertain sanctuary of Dunmaren-Kingdom of Shadows, home of the night elves.

When dire news arrives from Farhall, both Leisa and Kyrion must decide where their ultimate loyalties lie. Can Kyrion find a path to peace that does not require him to give up the only woman he has ever loved? Or will Leisa have no choice but to save the kingdom she still loves at the cost of her own heart?

She bowed to his threats to save her people.
Falling in love with him wasn’t part of the plan.

Princess Evaraine of Farhall is betrothed—to a playboy prince she has never met. To prepare for their wedding, she travels to his home kingdom of Garimore, where she must accustom herself to an uncomfortable new world of scheming courtiers and incomprehensible fashions.

But there are more pressing concerns than wedding gown fittings and awkward tea parties. Evaraine’s fiancé is missing, the king of Garimore is making increasingly sinister threats, and Evaraine’s hidden magic is becoming far more difficult to control.

And then there’s Danric—the driven and seemingly heartless crown prince of Garimore. Evaraine knows she should hate him, both for what he represents and for forcing her into a distasteful alliance. Yet despite his intimidating presence, Evaraine begins to catch glimpses of a much different man than the one he shows the rest of the world.

But just when she is beginning to long for more than a loveless royal marriage, Evaraine learns of a threat to the people she’s fought so hard to save—a threat that calls into question everything she thought she knew about Danric and his father.

To save her kingdom, she will have no choice but to reveal her most dangerous secret, and in doing so, risk losing the one man who has ever held her heart.

Her life is all about high heels, high speeds, and high stakes, and heaven help any guy who gets in her way. After years of living from one thrill to the next, no one takes her seriously, and she's careful to keep it that way. Callista has big plans for the corporation her mother and grandfather have nearly destroyed, but to gain control, she'll have to play-and win-a dangerous game that already claimed the life of her older brother. Which makes it even more of a shock when that brother, Phillip Linden, turns out to be less dead than everyone was led to believe. Killian Avalar is a pirate, a liar, and a fraud. He's also ruthless when it comes to getting what he wants, and he's not above impersonating a dead man to gain control of the largest corporation on Earth. But standing in his way is a powerful woman more than willing to fight for what's hers, even if it means taking on family. Their collision is inevitable, but if they can't work out a compromise, it may end in the destruction of everything they're fighting to save. Not just a family or a corporation, but all life on Earth. An invasion is coming, and if the humans can't stop fighting each other, they won't have a prayer of stopping it in time.
