He is the King who speaks in riddles and commands armies with a smirk.
She is the noblewoman with a sword, a glare sharp enough to cut glass, and absolutely no time for charm.
When Selene Amaranthe is summoned to the capital, her only intention is to serve the realm-not the King. Especially not King Bas, a man known for his brilliance, his beauty, and his ability to drive her insane with just three words:
"You're late again."
Bound by duty, locked in a dangerous dance of power, secrets, and sarcastic flirtation, Selene and Bas find themselves navigating a kingdom on the brink of war-and a romance they never asked for.
Over five encounters, five dangerous missions, and five very inconvenient moments of near-heart failure, they will learn the language of love...
One battle at a time.
Five love languages. One throne. And two people too stubborn to fall quietly.
=================
💬 AUTHOR'S NOTE:
This is Book 1 of a 4-part royal romance series, where each story explores all the love language through banter, longing, and dangerously attractive people making terrible emotional decisions. 😌
Each book stands alone, but together... they rule.
Enemies-to-lovers. Banter. Power tension. And a king who would rather burn than beg.

BOOK 1: Marked by Flame ( Currently Editing)
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury.

Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince.
