Her enemies want her blood. And one man-dangerous, magnetic, impossible to ignore-wants all of her. He's the fire she shouldn't touch, the temptation she swore she would never give in to. Yet every glance, every stolen moment, pulls her deeper into a bond that could save her shattered soul... or destroy them both. Because in the world she was born into, love is a liability. And falling for him may be the one weakness she can't survive. Completed 10/15/2025
