She used to blush at the sight of him. Now his touch makes her vomit.

Betrayed by her family and betrothed to a prince, Arlen runs for her life—only to be found by the domineering Duke Liam Crawford, the man she should fear most.

Cold, commanding, wealthy and irresistibly magnetic, he saves her with a single touch and claims her as his own. Every whispered command, every lingering caress, draws her deeper into a treacherous game with a man who sees her not as a wife, but as a prize to possess.

In his arms, danger tastes like desire… but will she surrender or survive?

Born a prince. Sworn to a god. His sacred mark reveals every impure thought, and Ezekiel has never had one. Then the brother he trusted commands him to escort his first love to a political marriage she never wanted, with a man thrice her age. Two months on the road. One jealous god watching. And a heart he swore was empty beating loud enough for both of them to hear.
