Blood Runs Thicker Than Water

Ariana Valez was born into power-but she's hiding a deadly secret: she has none.

In a family where weakness means death, pretending is the only way to survive.

Until he shows up.

Lucien Devereaux-heir to a rival bloodline, enemy by birth, and the only person who sees something in her that shouldn't exist.

He's supposed to destroy her.

Instead, he becomes obsessed.

Because Ariana isn't just different-

She's impossible.

And in a world ruled by blood and betrayal, the most dangerous thing isn't power...

It's the one person who was never meant to have it.
