Freedom was more treacherous than she ever imagined. Nimona Weston’s debts are paid. Her contract with the dark society known as the Trust is broken. But the magical ties that bind her to a long-ago bargain are rooted deep. She’s thrust back into the life she’d been forced from as a girl and now her every move is under the watchful eye of the king. A king who wants her dead. But fate has plans of its own and Nim is helpless to stop them, even as the future of the kingdom is placed in her hands. Magical contracts, blood-debt accountants, and a deadly game. An epic fantasy with regency flair, an improper and slightly stabby heroine with a penchant for trouble, swoony slow burn romance, and a dark and twisty plot that pits magic against kings, love against power, and a gothic underworld against a kingdom desperate to survive. Perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and The Shadows Between Us.Ver libro

KitMolly Lynch isn't like any woman I've met before. The pretty, ball-busting reporter has a penchant for asking questions that dredge up memories I'd rather keep buried. I answer them, though, because I'm so intrigued by her—a mix of shy and bold, so set in her ways that the slightest change knocks her off kilter. The closer Molly gets to my dark truth, though, the more I try to shift her focus to what I want most—her total surrender to me in the bedroom.MollyI finally have the life I'm meant for. Predictable. Boring. Safe. NHL player Kit Carter upsets the stability I crave when he looks at me with his dark eyes, wounded and guarded, but also swirling with desire. I can't let him figure out who I truly am—driven not by ambition but by anxiety. Unable to let go of my control, even for a second. There's something about Kit that draws me to him so powerfully it's no longer a choice, though. I need to give in, even if it costs me everything. Contains mature themes.Ver libro
