Sera grew up believing kindness was enough to survive the world. As the daughter of a baron, she lived modestly, loved deeply, and fell for the wrong boy. Leon-arrogant, wealthy, and cruel-was the boy she liked. And the boy who bullied her the most. What began as childish teasing slowly became something sharper, more humiliating. Tired of waiting for kindness that never came, Sera turned away from him and poured her heart into studying magic instead. She learned to grow strong alone. Only then did Leon feel it. The ache in his chest. The twist in his stomach. The fear of losing something he never thought mattered. But by the time Leon understands his own feelings, Sera has already changed-calm, distant, and standing beside Sebastian, the gentle crown prince who treats her with quiet respect. This is a slow-burning hate-to-love story where love comes too late, hearts are tested by pride and regret, and the line between cruelty and devotion blurs. Though it begins within the walls of an imperial academy, A Bitter Taste unfolds into a tale of war, magic, and destiny-ending on the battlefield and within the royal palace, where mages, swordsmen, and healers must choose who they truly are... and who they are willing to lose.

It starts with a contract, not a love story. After a mission in Spain goes wrong, Aleksandra Mikhailovna Dragunova, Moscow's Bratva princess, is ordered to marry the lion of Sicily to stop a war. One wrong deal. One betrayal. One forced marriage between two empires that should never mix... and a slow-burn obsession that could burn them all. Hunted by her own world and driven out of every safe house and city, Aleksandra has one way left to survive: align with the Spadaro family. A ring she never wanted becomes her only shield. Domiziano Massimo Spadaro, Underboss and the heir to the Black Lion's crown, was raised on blood oaths and loyalty. His loyalty is the kind that makes men fear his name more than the law. When the contract lands on his desk, he doesn't see a bride; he sees a liability wrapped in strategy. A Dragunov. A woman he is ordered to claim, never trust. Aleksandra led men who killed at her word and bled at her feet. Her rules were simple: freedom over fairy tales. Power over promises. Control over love. They walk into the marriage as enemies, bound by ink, not choice. They promise themselves one thing: do not fall. ~~~ "He was supposed to be my protection. Not my addiction." ~ Aleksandra Dragunova
