"You once said you'd never fall for a girl with a leash, Konstantin," she teased. "Tell me... has the monster finally fallen?" ⸻ Van Volkov was cold, distant, and counting down the days until his debt ended - until Aira Blight tore his world apart. Now he's bound to her, heart and soul, sworn to protect the human girl who became his greatest weakness. A year after being rescued from her grandfather's estate, Aira's finally free - living the life she once only dreamed of. But this new life brings new truths. Van is changing, pulling away, haunted by something darker than she can reach. When his curse rises to claim him, Aira must cross worlds and face the spirits of the past to save the man who once saved her. He's her protector. Her bond. Her undoing. He gave her freedom. Now she'll risk everything to give him back his soul. (Book 2 from Lady and the Wolf)
