{BOOK 2} ...Oh the sweet agony of that delicious yet light friction. It took all of his strength not to moan... But suddenly, he felt Rowan bite his bottom lip hard, it threatened to bleed. And shortly after Rowan was off him. He looked at the prince confused, "What the hell?" But Rowan just smiled and said, "I'm still mad at you but hey, that," he pointed to Garrick's bulge, "should be a good distraction for the rest of the night." He then sauntered his way off to the tent. For a moment, Garrick didn't respond. Then he nodded, his expression softening just a fraction. "You're cruel," he said. --- In the company of Rowan and a still freshly heartbroken Hyacinth, Garrick sets out to his home on the island of Goldovia. But things aren't as he left them. A darkness and seeped through the land and into the grounds leaving behind a skeleton of the once beautiful paradise. Follow their journey as they unlock new unexpected truths about his father while Hyacinth finds a new distraction from her past lover, Aria. I suppose it wouldn't really matter if you read book 1 to understand this book but it would make a lot more sense if you read book 1 first. So maybe check it.out. It would make me really happy 😁
