The kingdom of Ilya is in turmoil…
After surviving the Purging Trials, Ordinary-born Paedyn Gray has killed the
King, and kickstarted a Resistance throughout the land. Now she’s running from
the one person she had wanted to run to.
Kai Azer is now Ilya’s Enforcer, loyal to his brother Kitt, the new King. He
has vowed to find Paedyn and bring her to justice.
Across the deadly Scorches, and deep into the hostile city of Dor, Kai pursues
the one person he wishes he didn’t have to. But in a city without Elites, the
balance between the hunter and hunted shifts – and the battle between duty and
desire is deadly.
Be swept away by this bestselling, kiss-or-kill romantasy trilogy taking the
world by storm.
By hiding her intelligence and ambition behind the mask of a beautiful
air-headed girl, she has gathered important secrets, earned her father’s
constant care, and become a wealthy duchess—all by age nineteen. Now, she is
only one elderly, dying duke away from having all the freedom, money, and
safety she’s ever wanted.
Or so she thought.
Turns out her little sister somehow snatched the true victory away from her:
Alessandra is wedding the Shadow King, the most powerful man in the world.
Meanwhile, after the death of Chrysantha’s no-good, lecherous husband, a man
claiming to be the duke’s estranged grandson turns up to inherit everything
that should be hers.
Chrysantha is enraged. There is no way that she’s going to let some man take
everything from her. Never mind that he’s extremely handsome and secretive and
alluring with mysterious powers… No, Chrysantha wants Eryx Demos dead, and in
the end, a Stathos girl always gets what she wants.
Tallulah is smart, vivacious, and studying to be a marine biologist. She’s also
twenty-six and broke. So when Burgess, a battle-scarred hockey veteran and
newly single dad, offers her a job as his live-in nanny, she jumps at the
opportunity to get paid while living in a super fancy neighborhood and being
around Lissa, his cool but introverted tween.
Her tween charge isn’t the only one who could use some help fitting in, though.
According to…well, everyone except Burgess, he needs to get back on the dating
scene, and adventurous Tallulah is just the girl to show him how. But as
boundaries are slowly crossed and Burgess finds himself pulled between his
daughter, who wants her parents back together, and his insane chemistry with
Tallulah, a huge rift is formed, and Tallulah does the “right” thing—breaks her
own heart and walks away.
Though Burgess knows it’s for the best—he’s too jaded, with too much baggage—a
chance meeting, and a new push from his daughter, forces him to put everything
on the line and fight to prove he learned his lessons well and is worthy of a
happily ever after with Tallulah.
