A dark curse. Bloody, violent murders. And a long awaited reunion throw Aleksasha's ordered world into disarray.

Aleksasha was born to be the perfect noblewoman and then her family was brutally murdered in a conspiracy that spans beyond her years.

When she was on the brink of ruin, the brooding Duke Matias Volkov married her when all of the kingdom turned their backs on the cursed daughter of a ruined house. 

After they exchange vows, Matias leaves Aleksasha to build their hiuse as he fights in a distant battlefield for 10 years.  When Matias returns as a war hero he bears both scars and the spoils of war including a stunning and enigmatic woman named Selene.

As Aleksasha’s hard-won position as the lady of the estate is threatened, she must confront deepening betrayal. Torn between reclaiming her rightful place and the dangerous allure of a new rival, Aleksasha battles her darkest fears. 

Long forgotten magic burns within her, desperately seeking release as outside forces strive to rip her marriage and her power apart.

Bound by Honor, Torn by Desire

Alek stared at her father as panic swept over her. He shook his head and she bit her lower lip, clutching at the sides of her dress. She paled as she ran over to her father, tugging his jacket sleeve.

The servant set the food onto the table and exited with the cart once more. He bowed to the family and exited the rooms once more.

Once the door clicked closed behind him, Alek ran from her father to her brothers. "No, don't eat it!" She cried, tears rolling down her pale face. She grabbed their hands and dragged them away from the table of food.

Eriks and Alexi stared at her frowning. "What's wrong, Alek?"

Alek sobbed as she hugged Eriks and Alexi in turn. "It's bad. It's bad. The bad people are trying to hurt us," she sobbed.

Daniil leaned over the table and carefully examined what the attendant brought. His expression serious and attentive as he investigated what caused his daughter distress.
