However, nothing could have prepared her for the truth that this wasn’t just a marriage. She was just a pawn to win yet another war, a cord to fasten an alliance. Her new husband was a sweet torment, an immortal, god-like bully disguised in an impossibly beautiful human form with no rival.

Believing that her dignity was lost forever, she resigned herself to her fate, hoping to make a home in the hell she’d been thrown into. But fate, as it often did play, had other plans. ~*~ “Don’t even think about seducing me by licking your lips like that, doe-eye!” He breathed in her ear as he joined her in bed, shirtless, his muscular abdomen rippling with each movement. “I… I’m not doing it on purpose!” she stammered, her breath catching in her chest when he wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her body against him. His mouth hovered near her temple, his lips grazing her ear shell. “I’m going to make you forget what happened today. My body is yours as compensation, wife.” ~*~ Tags: Romance, Fantasy, Epic, The Devil's Son, The Prince of Hell, the lord of Shadow, Cover art temporary.

I never thought my life would come down to a single, desperate decision. When my mother collapsed from a heart attack and needed an emergency surgery that I couldn’t afford, I was left with no options—until I heard about Kieran Anderson. A billionaire. A man feared in the business world. And the groom left standing at the altar. I knew what I had to do. I walked into his office, dropped to my knees, and made an offer he couldn’t refuse. Marriage. It was supposed to be simple. A contract. A transaction. No love, no feelings—just cold, hard business. But then he whispered his first demand. "You will give me an heir." Now, I’m trapped in a world I don’t understand, tangled in a web of secrets, power, and a man who is far more dangerous than I ever imagined. And the worst part? I think I’m falling for him.
