He was a prince, caught between duty and desire, with promises that tasted like forever. In the quiet shadows of the palace, they shared something soft, something sacred... until the world outside tore it apart.

The boy she bore is hers alone, and she intends to keep it that way. But when the newly crowned king returns and their paths cross once more, old feelings begin to stir-and buried truths rise to the surface.

But after everything he left behind... will she let him in? A story of first love, betrayal, and the slow, aching journey back to one another-where the cost of silence may be the only thing keeping them apart.

"Tell me again how you don't want me," he whispers, dragging his lips down her neck. "Say it under oath, and I might even believe you." Jasmine Taylor doesn't lose. Not in the courtroom, not in life. At just twenty-six, she's built an ironclad reputation: fierce, brilliant, and unshakably professional. But when she's assigned the biggest case of her career-defending Dimitri Alekseev, a dangerously alluring Russian immigrant accused of murder-her world begins to crack. Dimitri isn't just a suspect. He's a problem. Tall, tattooed, and terrifyingly unreadable, with ties to a powerful family the law doesn't dare touch. The evidence against him is overwhelming. The press wants him buried. And deep down, Jasmine suspects the whispers are true. But the more time she spends with him, the harder it becomes to separate fact from instinct. Because beneath his cold exterior is something intoxicating. Calculated charm. Raw heat. And secrets whispered in the dark. As the trial barrels forward, Jasmine finds herself pulled into his world-one filled with shadows, blood ties, and undeniable temptation. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks not just her career, but her safety... and her soul. What happens when the woman who always plays by the rules falls for the man who was born to break them?

I leaned against the cool gleaming railing over looking Miami. His glowing eyes gazed into mine as he took a hit from his blunt. he grabs my neck, wrapping his ebony fingers around the caramel... blowing smoke into my mouth. "relax, I'll take care of it..." he hushed as he backed up, turning around and grabbing his gun.

The story of a princess and a gladiator

In Fontenot, Louisiana, where the cypress keep their own counsel and the graves remember, Solene Boudreaux comes home. Soft-spoken but razor-bright, the eighteen-year-old can hear and answer the dead, a gift that cost her father his life and drove her mother north to Chicago in the vain hope of quiet. Now Solene returns to begin college, to help in her family's funeral home, and to learn the boundaries of a power that refuses to be sedated. The dead greet her like kin. One of them, an ancestral spirit with unfinished business, fastens to her shadow. Beauragard "Beau" Andrews is Fontenot's golden myth: twenty, blue-eyed, the town's favored son with a smile that opens doors and a legacy that opens vaults. He is also the Chosen, host and reincarnation of a forgotten European god whose seven hungers are beauty, fertility, magic, wealth, prosperity, war, and madness. The god wears Beau like a well-cut suit, whispering strategies, sharpening his charm, and marking Solene as the vessel required to continue its line. As campus lights dim and the bayou fog rises, Solene's days knot into a private war: the ancestor tugging her toward reckoning, the town's courtesies masking old cruelties, and Beau's courtship, tender one breath, terrifying the next, conducted under the god's gaze. Desire becomes a trapdoor. Visions thicken in the air. Family histories surface like bones in rain-soft earth. To survive, Solene must master the dead who claim her, confront the living who would use her, and choose whether to break a dynasty older than Fontenot itself or be bound to it, body and soul.
