"It is your choice," he said, stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do what I say - or get another job." My heart stood still as I gazed up into his deep, dark, dangerous eyes... In a world where women's only role in life is to sit at home and look pretty, Lilly is determined to fight for her freedom. There's only one problem: a powerful man blocking her way.

When you are fighting for the freedom of your people, falling in love with your enemy is not a great idea. Or is it? Ayla has to defend her castle and her people all on her own, with nobody to help her but a dark warrior she hates with all her heart.

Ryan and Judith were never supposed to fall in love - at least, that's what reason and circumstance seemed to dictate. So Ryan left, overwhelmed by family conflicts and the impossible truth of his own heart: he was in love with his best friend's younger sister - someone he knew he should never want. To stay meant losing control; to leave meant putting an ocean between him and the only girl he'd ever truly loved. Both choices promised regret, but only one he could live with the consequence. Judith, meanwhile, had loved him longer than she even realized. And while he was gone, she kept her heart guarded for him, convinced that no matter the years or the distance, he was the only one she would ever want. Five years later, fate reunites them, and once again, Ryan's heart refuses to be silenced - not that it ever truly obeyed. But the obstacles remain: a fractured family, past betrayals, and a love that must be revealed carefully to the one person whose opinion matters most. In a story of forbidden love, unwavering devotion, and second chances, Ryan and Judith must navigate a maze of secrets, loyalty, and desire. Can their hearts survive the truths they've kept hidden for so long - or will love finally claim what it was always meant to have? Note: This is a preview of my upcoming novel. The full book will be published on Amazon soon.
