Crimson Vow

Cassian "Fang" Draven has spent his life commanding men, winning battles, and making decisions that left no room for error or weakness. As the kingdom's highest-ranking military officer, he knows strategy, discipline, and how to bend others to his will.

And yet, all that control never prepared him for one thing: Princess Seraphina Vale.

She had only met him only once, at a gala years ago, and his piercing blue eyes burned themselves into her memory. He thought he'd never see her again. The princess from years ago, sharp-tongued, fearless, hidden from the public eye, and a storm in silk who refused to bow, had been nothing but a memory. Until now.

Once the highest-ranking soldier in the kingdom's military, Fang vanished without explanation, leaving a trail of whispered warnings and fear. Now he's back, hired by her father for a sum that should have bought his silence, not his presence. He hates the assignment. He wants her gone. He will not hesitate to use force to enforce the boundaries she constantly breaks. However, Seraphina is clever, unrelenting, and unafraid of him or the world he represents.

But danger moves through the palace shadows, and every calculated step brings them closer to a line neither can cross. Loyalty, desire, and defiance collide, and for the first time, the man who feared nothing may confront something he cannot control.
