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.

Kael stared down at me, his glowering eyes devoid of any emotion and a chill ran down my spine. "Anything, you say?" He asked, pointing the edge of his sword against my neck and I stiffened, refusing to breathe. "Anything... " I whispered, my voice small yet resolute. A corner of his lips quirked up, not quite forming a smile. "How about my slave?" ***** She was supposed to be his captive, not his salvation.
