When the poor temple girl Zinnia catches the attention of her empress, she is dragged away from her home and into the palace, forced to serve her empress and only her. She fears the empresses new arranged wife might hate her guts. Instead, she comes face to face with two power hungry royals out for her heart.
Or...
The Great Ophion empire is the only empire on the continent where women truly have a say in politics, with temples designed only for women, and a powerful, terrifying empress on the throne. But in truth, after nearly 20 years of war with their neighboring kingdoms, the empire is filled with traitors, and the empress' position hangs by a thread.
To keep herself in power, Empress Ensi of Ophion brings peace to her empire, and with it, marries a princess from their largest enemy kingdom, the unruly Delyth of Zeleon.
However, right before the wedding a poor temple girl, Zinnia, from the furthest corner of the empire catches the empress' attention, and she brings her to the palace to console herself with her ethereal presence. Taking a temple girl from a temple is highly forbidden, and so, the goddesses curse them both.
A curse that binds them together for all eternity, and a curse that only Delyth can break.

Mrs Julia Robinson, the wife of American figure skating Olympian Adrian Robinson, is nervous about finally meeting her husband's family. After two years of marriage living in Amsterdam, they've decided it's time to move back to Virginia and give Julia the opportunity to meet the rest of her husband's family. The most important of them all is his close sister and best friend, Adreanna Jones.
The flight to Virginia was long, but the car ride to Adreanna's house was short. Despite the short distance, the couple never made it there.
Julia wakes up in a hospital, broken and alone. She learnt that they'd been in an accident that claimed her husband's life and sent her into a coma for 12 days. Heartbroken, depressed and disabled, she found herself stranded in a foreign country with no one to lean on.
Or so she thought.
Adreanna loved her brother more than anyone in the world. He was her father, mother, and best friend. He was her everything. Then he was gone. Julia was the closest thing left to her brother. Adreanna's intentions were to just get to know the woman her brother married, look after her on his behalf until she could look after herself again and eventually return home. But life wiped out those plans before they even cemented as the two women, in a time of hurt and grief, seeking closure, companionship and love, formed a bond they didn't even realise was growing until it was too late.
Now they're stuck at a crossroads, having to decide between love and ethics.
The sequel to Drea is out now. It is called Mrs Jones. You can find it on my profile. <3
