The air in the room was thick, tasting of ozone and old ink, but all I could smell was Varek-sandalwood, cold rain, and something predatory. Varek had me pinned against the mahogany desk, the wood biting into my hips. Shadows coiled around my ankles, possessive and shivering. "You keep looking at me like that," he rasped, the sound vibrating through my ribs. "Like what?" I breathed, my chest heaving against my bodice. He leaned in, his lips a fraction from mine. "Like you've forgotten this marriage was an arrangement." His hand slid from my waist, his thumb grazing the underside of my breast. A broken moan escaped me. *"Hnn..."* The darkness surged, pulling me flush against the hard length of him. The friction was agonizing. "Perhaps I have," I whispered. "Careful, my lady," he growled against my ear, his teeth grazing my skin. "Keep looking at me like that, and I'll stop pretending I don't want to rip this dress off you and remind you exactly who you belong to." *** **HOUSE OF DARKNESS** Ten years as a prisoner-queen was enough. Soraya fled King Theron for freedom, only to find herself before Varek, the Lord of Darkness-a feared Paragon who brings kings to their knees. The deal was simple: protection for a marriage of convenience. A contract. An alliance. Two strangers. But Varek's shadows respond to her in ways he can't control, and the arrangement is quickly becoming an obsession. In a kingdom of secrets and lethal politics, Soraya sought a protector. She never expected to become the Lady of Darkness.
