Synopsis
In Emberwick, when two families go to war, nobody interferes. But when the Korvens and Veylors nearly wipe each other out, the Big Six break that rule. Konflict Korven and Serenity Veylor, the only surviving heirs, are forced into marriage. A union meant to restore peace and end the bloodshed. But Konflict has no desire to bind himself to the daughter of the man who murdered his mother in cold blood. What he wants is to bury every last Veylor in the ground. Since he has no choice but to obey the council’s order, he decides to wait twelve months without consummating the marriage. All he has to do is stay out of her bed. Not look at her. Not touch her. Not crave her. Until the marriage dissolves. Then he can finally have his revenge. But twelve months is long enough for everything to change. Long enough for the one thing he never expected to consume him completely. And when the time comes, he’ll have to decide whether to avenge his family… or surrender to what his heart truly wants. • Arranged Marriage • Rivals to Lovers • Touch Her and Die • Erotic Romance
