Queen Dahlia agrees to marry her Orc enemy, Varick, to ensure the war between their people finally ends. Peace comes at a price, and his condition is as dangerous as it is irresistible.
By day, Dahlia rules as queen of their fragile, united realm. By night, behind closed doors, Varick claims a different kind of power, demanding her surrender in ways that blur the line between duty and desire, and awaken a hunger she cannot ignore.
As tension turns to heat and rivalry blurs into desire, Dahlia must decide if she can separate her heart from her crown. If she falls for her enemy, it may cost her everything, especially with danger closing in from every side.
