When Katarina marries Lyedan she is a young, innocent girl. She knows nothing about leading a kingdom, but she soon realizes leadership is the least of her problems. It seems every woman is attracted to Lyedan, but none of them know who he really is. Rumors spread around that he will become the man his father was—an abusive alcoholic. Katarina, however, discovers a secret no one knows about the family. She reassures herself so long as she hides her husband’s secret no harm will fall upon her, but as the pressures of ruling a kingdom fall on her shoulders tension rises.
Confused with emotions of love and fear, Katarina must move quickly to uncover answers. If Lyedan suspects her doubts, will he threaten her? Might a dangerous, deadly secret be enough to save Katarina’s life?

only you know
"Only You Know" Kidnapped by fate. Bound by a secret only he knows. Aarini was never the kind to bow down. Born in a place where women were told to obey, she chose to break free. She built her life on her own terms-fearless, independent, untamed. Love? She never believed in it. Especially not from a man who thought a simple "yes" was his birthright. But one rejection changes everything. Aarish, a man as ruthless as he is powerful, doesn't make mistakes-until now. One blind moment of trust in the wrong person, and he does the unthinkable. He takes her. And in that instant, he seals both their fates. Now, trapped in a marriage she never wanted, Aarini is torn between hate and something far more dangerous-the slow, burning realization that the man she despises might be the only one who truly sees her. But can she forgive the past? And what happens when she discovers the truth he's been hiding? Hate. Regret. Longing. Love. She was stolen away. But maybe, just maybe, she was never meant to be anywhere else. Only you know...

With her mother's health failing, she is willing to do whatever it takes to save what little she has left. But when this year's ritual goes terribly wrong, Lyra is taken-ripped from the life she knows and thrust into the heart of a kingdom lost to time. There, she is told she has been chosen. That she, along with others, must vie for the favor of a king no one has seen in over a century. But something is wrong within the castle's walls.

Because the deeper she delves into the mystery of the King and the kingdom he rules behind the walls, the more she realizes: Some destinies are written in blood.
