A Pact of Blood

The trials are over. The game has only just begun...

I came to Dariu to win a husband-and an empire. I wasn’t prepared for that husband to be so set in his brutal ways, for his people to see our marriage as a bad omen... or for my heart to be aching for three princes I can’t have.

I can’t afford to let any of those problems stop me. My kingdom is counting on me, and all the conquered countries of the empire need my help. I’ll win the respect of every skeptic and enemy, no matter what dangers I have to face.

But when rebellion stirs in one of the outer kingdoms and my husband starts taking out his fury on the men I hold dearest, I’m not sure how much more sacrifice I can bear. To bring about the peace I’ve dreamed of, must I wage my own private war against the man I swore to serve?

*A Pact of Blood is the second book in a new fantasy romance series with a sizzling enemies-to-lovers romance, smoldering morally grey men, and a determined heroine they’ll regret underestimating. There are more books to come.*
