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.

Father's Duty, Brother's Love
The grand study of Valeidio's royal palace was filled with the warm glow of afternoon sunlight streaming through the tall, arched windows.
King Xavian, his regal demeanor softened by the lines of concern etched into his features, sat at the head of a long, oak table.
Across from him, Crown Prince Theron leaned forward, his muscular frame tense as they discussed the affairs of the kingdom.
The bond between father and son was evident in the way they spoke, a mutual respect and understanding that had been forged through years of shared responsibility and trust.
Their conversation, which had started with matters of state, shifted to more personal topics as the afternoon wore on.
"It's been weeks since Eirik left for Zephyros," Theron said, his voice tinged with a hint of longing. "I miss him. The palace feels emptier without him around."
