I considered leaving, but I fell in love with him at some point, and now I have to see this through to the end. Our vows were 'To death do us part,' and every day, I think that might have been a prophecy of our future. Danger approaches faster and faster, taunting me, encouraging me to forgive him. Forgive him and follow him to death that calls me. ******* Anaya is forced into an arranged marriage and expects to be miserable. Instead, she finds her husband handsome and enticing despite his coldness. She has been taught to be sweet and silent her whole life, but when dealing with someone in the public eye, she must find her voice and fast! He is knee-deep in a conspiracy she does not understand, and it may fall on her to save him from himself. He is protective and will go to every length imaginable to protect those he loves, even if it means his destruction.
