More Than Resentment
"Strip. Now." His voice dropped low and rough, a command that vibrated through the air. There was something delicious about watching the power shift, watching him- lose control - unravel under my gaze. I smirked while lifting one leg and rested the sharp point of my heel right over the thick outline beneath his pants. "V stop." He said while inhaling sharply, his fingers curling at his side. "You want me?" I asked, my voice silk-wrapped steel. He nodded like an obedient puppy. "Then. Beg." ___________________________________________ Draven Rose Ashthorne is a smart, handsome man, who does not have the privilege to make mistakes.

Varrisa Fernandez, a young aspiring woman, whose only goal is to build something on her own, something that she could call her own not inherited. She is a quiet rebellion wrapped in fire, refusing to be carved by her parents. She's the kind of girl who walks past comfort and chooses challenges. She believes in efforts and carries vision in her mind and passion in her eyes. What happens when two of them cross paths in an unfortunate situation, creating the wrong impression of one another? The party was the start of their rivalry that would soon unravel into something far more consuming than hate, something that both could not resist, a feeling too powerful to ignore.

When an assassination attempt goes horribly wrong, Thea becomes the king's prisoner and is given a firsthand look at the people she has loathed her entire life.

Armed with this knowledge, she manages to escape the palace with a new plan to help her fellow citizens. If she can find Aestus, the dragon responsible for the founding of the kingdom, she might finally be able to overthrow the horrible king.

Meanwhile, the king and queen are caught in their own web of danger as Ana seeks safety away from her husband and the Lance family curse sends Favian spiraling into madness. The fate of the royal family, the people of Creasan, and The Source all rest on Thea's last-ditch plan, but her own trauma might very well be the largest threat to the mission.Complete
