He was the king's charming cousin, sworn never to fall in love - only to make others fall for him.
Rowan Lastlight-Medalen, heir to a legacy of war and wit, has never lost a game of hearts. A rake, a rogue, a soldier wrapped in smirks and sharp edges, he's always danced just out of reach of real feeling. Love, after all, is a battlefield he's mastered. That is, until he meets the one woman who refuses to play.
Lilith Hazelwood has no interest in fairy tales - and even less in the man who lives like one.
Sharp-tongued and sharp-minded, Lilith, elder sister Edith Hazelwood daughter of the Hazelwood crown, knows better than to fall for flirtation dressed in armor. She has no use for sweet words or stolen glances. Not from Rowan. Especially not from Rowan.
But when the infamous heartbreaker sets his sights on her, he finds himself caught in his own trap - ensnared by a woman who won't be won, who laughs at his charm and matches his fire with fire. She's not just a challenge. She's the only thing he's ever wanted.
And she's not about to make it easy

DESIRE AFTER THE RAIN
Two hearts that never sought love somehow found themselves in its crossfire. Desire had always been hungry not for a hand to hold, not for whispered promises, but for success that would make her name matter. Every choice she made, every risk she took, was fueled by that relentless fire burning inside her. Love was a luxury she couldn't afford. Rowan, meanwhile, lived tethered to a ghost. His heart belonged to someone who had walked out of his life but never left his memory. He wasn't looking for another; he was only surviving, counting the days in quiet solitude, haunted by what once was. And then Desire appeared a spark he didn't expect, a force he didn't know he needed. They collided, brushed against each other's edges, and for a moment, it seemed like something could bloom. But they both knew better. Desire could not pause for love, and Rowan could not unchain his past. while Rowan thought he had lost Desire to ambition, and Desire believed Rowan was lost to memory, neither realized that in their fleeting connection, they had already changed each other. Desire's fire had awakened a part of Rowan he thought was buried forever, and Rowan's quiet depth had given Desire a glimpse of something more than hunger. Did Desire ever find a reason to love, or was success always enough to fill the emptiness inside her? Did Rowan finally let go of the ghost of his past, or did it follow him quietly, like a shadow he could never shake?
