What happens when you discover that the shadows don’t hide the monsters you should fear, but the ones who will save you? I come home to discover the ultimate act of betrayal by the one person who was meant to love and protect me. My father sold me to the Russian Bratva, in exchange for a debt he could not pay, his apology a text message as he fled the country. Enter Nikolai Petrov, tall, dark and handsome, the Bratva leader’s son, and my childhood crush. Also the man who has won me, who has paid the price for me in blood and expects a return in kind.

When the shadows own you body and soul… will you give them your heart? Pregnant with Sergi's child and hunted by him I've never been more vulnerable—or more protected. My men surround me like sentinels, their love fierce as the danger closing in on us all. Sergi Petrov won't stop until he has what he believes belongs to him: me, the baby, and his son's head on a platter. Even our island sanctuary can't shield us from his reach forever. As my pregnancy advances and complications arise, we're forced to make our final stand.

Seven years ago, Hadleigh Castille fell into my bed and never left my heart. Then she disappeared and my hunger for vengeance was born. My body wasn’t the same after that night. She left for war, but I lived a daily life of blood and violence for the Irish Mob. Now, I’ve risen to power in my own right, but to keep my crown I must align with the enemy. When he presents his sister to me as a bride, my heart takes a tumble. The woman I knew, the siren I never got over isn’t Hadleigh Castille, Navy Lieutenant. She’s the missing Greek Princess, Ava Zervas.

When the Shadows set you free… will you let them claim you? My worst nightmare has come true. Sergi Petrov, the man my father sold me to, has me in his grip again. This time, even my Shadows aren’t strong enough to fight his obsession. I endure every night in his mansion—twenty-one days of his attention, his delusion—submitting so my men, my soulmates, can live free. I will suffer anything to ensure their safety. Every night, my will to survive is tested, with only Nikolai, Sergi’s own son, helping me resist the darkness his father creates inside me.

England is burning. And the cause . . . men are too afraid to utter in nothing but a whisper. The Northmen. My father is King Eanred. And me? I am Princess Emeline. My father wants to protect our kingdom against the ruthless Vikings who continue to raid England, so he has betrothed me to Aethelwulf, the son of King Egbert of Wessex—the most powerful realm in all of England. Without this union, Northumbria will fall, which is why I must submit. I must do this for my people.

I never lived a day until he came along and found me… Forced to compete for our Chapter Lord’s hand in marriage, I silently pray through each and every ritual that I will not be chosen. But when my nightmare becomes a reality, my life turns into nothing short of hell. My dear Lord husband chose me because he needs an heir. He doesn’t care for my needs, he doesn’t even see me as a person. I’m a thing to own, a vessel to use. But amongst the horror there’s one shining light; Devin. One of my Chapter Guards. I’m not meant to look at him, let alone know his name.

I hate billionaires, but when a climate crisis protest turns dangerous, I’m scooped off the pavement by the most gorgeous, generous, ridiculously sexy man I’ve ever seen.

If I agree to stay the week in his luxurious penthouse, he’ll help discover my kinks. It’s a rabbit hole I’m ready for. Soon, I’m so far gone that not even my lifelong best friend can extricate me from my new life of passion, because nothing else seems to matter anymore.

In the old days, they outright murdered people . . . things like me. Now they simply seek to control us. The Council of Elders has determined every aspect of my life from my first breath. What I'd study, my job, who I'd eventually marry. That was all their decision. But when I woke up covered in runes designed to enslave me, I stopped submitting to the will of others. I wasn't supposed to set foot down in the undercity. Someone like me shouldn't associate with dark sorcerers. Especially those who look, smell, and taste like Lucian, the most dangerous man alive.

I am once again a prisoner to Wessex, captured by King Egbert because holding me hostage will bring them to him—my two Vikings who will risk heaven and earth to save me. But I don't need saving. I am Princess Emeline, and I was taught by the best, and his name . . . Skarth the Godless. The man whom I love more than anything in this world. But things begin to blur when Ulf the Bloody reminds me of the promise I made, and that promise is that I belong to him.
