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.

The Possessive Prince
The carriage rattled along the road back to Zephyros palace, its occupants shrouded in silence.
The air inside was thick with tension, the kind that buzzed just beneath the surface, threatening to break free at any moment.
Kaelix sat across from Eirik, his gaze fixed on the landscape outside, but his mind was anything but serene. He couldn't stop replaying the events of the past few days, the ambush, the battle, Eirik's unexpected strength, and the way his own heart had betrayed him.
He had fought the idea of marrying Eirik from the beginning, convinced that the delicate prince from Valeidio was beneath him, too soft, too weak.
But that image had been shattered. Eirik was no fragile flower; he was a force, capable of standing his ground, of fighting back. Kaelix had underestimated him, and the realization gnawed at him.
Now, as the carriage trundled back to the palace, Kaelix found himself wrestling with emotions he hadn't anticipated.
