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

What the hell am I missing? The question gnawed at the front of Matias's mind. He wanted to focus on the problems before him in sequence and address each in turn of immediacy but the constant shifts in the situation kept changing his priorities. Alek was his immediate priority but Selene kept forcing her way back to the front.

Damn it. He inwardly cursed. Selene is not acting at all like I expected or how she said. She promised to not interfere but now she is playing some damn game with us. Something changed when she got here. First the dagger and now these murders. What does she have to do with any of this?

"Your grace!" Ser Turold called, waving him over to the gatehouse. Matias glanced up at the rising moon feeling the night chill creeping over his skin.
