Shards of Desire: A standalone fantasy romance (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962070201)

A princess by birth right.

A warrior in spirit.

A bargaining chip for my kingdom that marks me for death.

Everything I dared dream of for my life is scorched to ash when I'm forced to marry our enemy: The icy dragon king of Andrathya.

My father believes marriage can bridge the gap between us and the beasts we once considered allies. We once held soul bonds with those very dragons before a curse shattered the world we had known for centuries, leaving war imminent on the horizon.

I think him a fool.

I'd rather die with a sword in my hand than on my knees begging for mercy.

After mere days in my husband's possession, it's clear to me I could never love a beast like him-to spend the rest of my days by his side isn't an option.

We must find a way to break this curse to restore peace to our kingdom. Maybe then I will be able to return to my home and forget about the cruel king I'm forced to share a bed with.

The king that makes my heart thrum with need and my mind burn with frustration.

He wants me to be compliant and silent, but I refuse to tremble beneath the ire of his gaze and sharpness of his tongue.

A dangerous dance begins between us as we navigate our battle of wills and our undeniable draw for one another, all while unraveling the curse that leads both of our peoples to the edge of ruin.
