In a war-torn land where duty often eclipses desire, Nurse Seraphine Vermillion finds herself torn between her heart and the rules that govern her world. For years, she has hidden her passionate relationship with General Kellan Draegen, a man bound by honor yet fiercely drawn to her. Their love, a fragile secret amidst the chaos of battle, is strictly forbidden-soldiers are not allowed to fall in love because they must prioritize their duty first.

When Kellan is gravely injured on the front lines, Seraphine rushes to his side, battling fear and uncertainty as she fights to save him. In a moment of vulnerability, he makes a heartfelt proposal, promising to return to her when the war ends. But as the conflict escalates and loyalties are tested, their love faces insurmountable challenges.

Will Seraphine defy the odds to protect their bond, or will the weight of duty and the realities of war tear them apart forever? In a world where love is the greatest risk of all, they must navigate their fate and decide if their hearts are worth the fight.

In the medieval times where power rules and fear is the ultimate weapon, one name strikes terror into the hearts of kings and queens alike-General Kaelion, the undefeated warrior whose icy gaze can bring armies to their knees. But who knew behind that ironclad armor and unyielding façade lies a man burdened by bloodshed and solitude. When Kaelion crosses paths with Rhaine, a woman as enigmatic as the moonlight, he is drawn to her in ways he cannot explain. Rhaine, however, carries her own curse-an inability to feel love. Hardened by her past and bound by a secret she dare not reveal, she has long resigned herself to a life untouched by affection. Yet, their unexpected bond defies reason, igniting a connection that challenges their beliefs and melts the frost encasing their hearts. But can a love as fragile as theirs survive in a world drenched in betrayal and chaos? After all they say happy endings are just stories that just haven't finished yet. With enemies sharpening their blades, traitors whispering in the shadows, and supernatural forces lurking in the dark, Kaelion and Rhaine are thrust into a battle not just for survival, but for the fragile love they never thought they could have. Can a love born in the most unexpected of places withstand the weight of war, secrets, and conflicting destinies? Or will their story end not in triumph, but tragedy? In this gripping tale of power, passion, and peril, find out if love can truly conquer all-or if happy endings are nothing more than the calm before the next storm.
