Valleria never meant to fall for them. She only wanted revenge. After her mother's death, the quiet healer hires a band of mercenaries to help her destroy the man who once owned her - the cruel plantation lord who shattered her past. But when she discovers he's her father, everything unravels. Including her resolve. Because the mercenaries she hired? They're impossible to resist: • Meredith, the fierce leader whose dominance ignites something primal in her • Kaigan, the rogue who flirts like it's foreplay and lies like it's love • Davur, the gentle giant whose soft touch belies his brutal strength • Ahfi, the dark mage whose magic coils around her like a lover's whisper As danger closes in, so do they - each mercenary pulling her deeper into a web of desire, devotion, and slow-burning seduction. Valleria thought she was in control. But in their arms, she's unraveling... and she's starting to like it. Four mercenaries. One mission. And a healer caught between vengeance and the kind of pleasure that could ruin her. Love (and vengeance) is never black and white.
