They say a bond is better than a title... right?
That's what everyone tells Ruby, but somehow, she's always the one left feeling shortchanged.
Her relationship with Demetrius has never been simple-it's been a wild ride of passion and pain, love and disappointment. Up one moment, crashing the next. No middle ground.
Years later, when fate brings them face-to-face again, those same familiar sparks hit just as hard. But this time, Ruby's not sure if she can handle another emotional merry-go-round.
Has Demetrius finally grown into the man she always needed him to be?
Or will he keep holding on to the bond... while refusing to claim the title?
