Synopsis
My fate is bonded to two princes– one born of blood, the other of power— but my trust lies in neither. My skin is cursed by the stars, my fate damned by desire. But when the dark prince offers me a bargain that will save his people and my life, the cruel and intoxicating male gives me no choice. Our union is his revenge, and I am his sacrifice. His lies are unforgivable. His wicked touch still bathes me in sin. He is my mate, and he is tortured by a curse to protect his people from his own family. I could now see him for exactly who he was. So why can’t I get his alluring touch out of my head? I am the key to saving his kingdom, but he alone has the power to ruin me.
