Suffering through tragedy and triumph, Creed and Carington have a love that only strengthens with each passing moment. Even when Creed is forced to flee for his life and leave Carington behind, their only thoughts are of being together again. Creed and Carington must fight for their very survival as two countries and a kingdom seek to separate them. Contains mature themes.

When Gage and Wynter's reacquaintance goes from a spark to a roaring blaze, they make a decision that will change their lives forever.

Because of this, it appears that all of the rumors have been true-but rumors can be deceiving. Join Gage and Wynter on an impossible and thrilling adventure of battle, passion, and the quest to bring the truth to light for a man who has been slandered. Contains mature themes.
