A Royal Obligation
In a realm of four kingdoms, two were on the verge of war. Prince Eirik, the fourth prince of Valeidio, a Ferre whose beauty could rival the gods, was thrust into a marriage alliance with Prince Kaelix, the strong and proud heir of Zephyros. Both princes were determined to fight against the fate that had been forced on them. Eirik resented being used as a pawn, while Kaelix saw the alliance as a threat to his freedom. As they clashed in a battle of wills, their encounters became a constant push and pull of resistance and pride. But as the pressures of duty mounted, the lines between obligation and desire began to blur. In their struggle against their forced union, they found themselves drawn toward each other in ways they never expected. Would their bond become a weapon against the war or would their kingdoms' rivalries destroy any chance of love before it could take root? --- Warning: This book contains mature themes.

Oil to the Fire
Eirik was lying on the bed, with Kaelix curled up beside him, their bodies close, Kaelix's head resting against Eirik's chest. They were quiet, but the intimacy of the moment was undeniable.
Eirik's hand was gently stroking Kaelix's hair, his touch tender, as if reassuring both of them that this moment was real.
Kaelix, resting his head on Eirik's chest, could feel the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. The constant teasing from Eirik's family, seemed far away. Here, in this quiet space, it was just the two of them.
But the serenity shattered the moment the door flew open.
"What?!"
"What's going on here?!"
The synchronized voices of Eirik's family made both him and Kaelix jolt upright, their eyes wide and panicked. In the doorway stood Lucian, Julian, Ella, Theo, and Theron, their expressions a mixture of shock, anger, and confusion.
