Vows of Ruin And Desire. Thronebound Hearts, #1

In a kingdom at the brink of collapse, Lady Seraphine is bound by an arranged marriage to Kael, the war-hardened lord she has sworn to despise. Their union was forged from politics and necessity-but desire has a will of its own. When a ruthless conqueror lays siege to their fortress, Seraphine and Kael must fight side by side against impossible odds. Amid bloodshed and betrayal, enemies become allies, and reluctant partners become something far more dangerous: lovers who would raze the world rather than surrender each other. But as the walls begin to fall and secrets come to light, Seraphine must decide if her heart is worth the price of the throne-and whether love can survive when honor, duty, and vengeance demand everything. Darkly romantic, unflinchingly sensual, and filled with political intrigue, Vows of Ruin and Desire is the first installment in a sweeping enemies-to-lovers epic where passion is a weapon.and surrender is the greatest risk of all.
