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

Selene flicked her hair over her shoulder with her other hand as she haughtily stared at Matias. "How can anyone fighting or surviving this war not know who you are?" She flippantly replied.

"Everyone makes you out to be some war god in the flesh."

Matias stared at her, his jaw tight. "We're close to ending this war."

She cocked her head to one side with a curious quirk of her brow. "And why would I want such a thing?"

Behind Matias, one of his man hissed. "She's wicked."

This is going to go no where unless I give her something that isn't related to her father or duty. She's a trouble maker.
