In a world where alliances are currency and secrets weigh more than blood, Honoria Kane becomes both pawn and player in a centuries-old feud between rival houses. What begins as a calculated engagement meant to preserve peace turns dangerous the moment she enters the Vitali estate, where power hums beneath every glance and attraction is as perilous as betrayal. Bound to the ruthless Vitali brothers-Kiro, the mind behind every glance and Silas, the quiet shadowed blade in the dark -become her protectors, her tempters, and her undoing. Between their possessive watch and her awakening defiance, every touch becomes strategy, every word a test of loyalty. When the engagement is sealed, she's no longer the naive daughter playing peacekeeper, but a strategist cloaked in innocence. In the game of Crowns and Bartered bloodlines, Honoria learns too late: you're never given power in the Vitali world. You take it-or you're devoured by those who already have. And when playing the Vitali Brothers' Game-you don't win. You simply learn which part of yourself you're willing to surrender first..

As a child you always fear the monster under your bed or in your closet. Maybe you watched a scary movie or were told a horror story to make you believe something was under there. You jump onto your bed and jerk your limbs away from the edge or always shut your closet door. Then you hide under the covers in hopes that they don't get to you. As you grow older you realize the invisible monster under your bed is just that, invisible. Its not that they don't exist, it's just that you don't see them. You write off the bumps in the night as the wind or shifting floorboards but they're lies. Little white lies you tell yourself so you can sleep at night. Well I'm here to tell you that whatever is causing those bumps is very real. In my case, the source doesn't hide in my closet but rather under my bed. And he's determined to drag me right there with him. Can you be friends with the monster under your bed? ** "Ask me Aria," he rasped. His voice dripped with temptation that would make the devil jealous. His lips were brushing against mine as we leaned into each other. I felt like I was drowning in his presence. The hand that was on my breast had moved to my waist, keeping me close even as I tipped towards him. His hand was still on my sex, leisurely teasing the area. "Please," I whispered. Something mixed between a growl and a purr escaped him. It vibrated deeply from his chest. I thought he would kiss me but he didn't. His lips hovered over mine before they softly traced my cheek. I gasped when his hands moved to under my arms, moving me until I straddled his thigh.

*Warning there may be sensitive topics in the book* Where one's status is based on their Dominant or Submissive alleles, Ama'Rose always felt a deep reluctance to take part in societies grouping. She couldn't see herself under someone else's control, (a submissive). And being a switch was just too unstable for her, (a submissive and a dominant). With the fear of finding out her persona, Ama'Rose stayed clear of blood testing and categorizing, that is until she goes to club Chasity. From there her entire life makes a turn for the worse, and now her biology not only brings unwanted attention but also catches the eye of the only S ranked male submissive in America, Ezra Wellington.
