    Summary

    The wrong man lived.

    Gale Dekarios sacrificed himself to save the world and left his true love, Rowan Ravenshade, behind to survive the aftermath- hollow, grief-stricken, and tucked away inside her uncle's manor while he sells her future to the highest bidder. She had nothing left. No companions. No allies. No one to come to her aide.

    On the other side of the city, Enver Gortash is dealing with a Parliament full of potential enemies, a succession crisis he can no longer ignore, and a list of eligible bachelorette's that he finds increasingly offensive.

    All except for one.

    He remembers the weight of her as she fought him. The sound she made when the world almost ended before their eyes. And for the last two years, he's had to convince himself that it hasn't affected him. That he has not thought about it since.

    But karma comes for those who lie to themselves.

    A "political marriage." A problem solved. A wife who will almost certainly attempt to murder him at the earliest available opportunity.

    Enver Gortash has survived worse.

    Probably.

    Summary

    They let you join the girl scouts as a kid, even though you couldn’t talk, and your favorite activity was always wilderness tracking. You became quite the expert at divining from snapped twigs and footprints pressed into the mud. And it was easy for you to be quiet, because whenever you tried to talk the sounds came out all wrong anyway.

    Now, almost two decades later, you still couldn’t talk, but your skill as a finder had only improved.

    Summary

    "You carry a lot of tension in your mid-back," you say as he lets out a ragged moan underneath you. With a little more work, you feel it come undone and you swear his breathing goes near ragged before you rub small circles into his back, moving outward towards his sides.

    You move your hands down and they still, as if you're testing him. And he reacts swiftly, you can feel him moving under you subtly, like a viper preparing to strike until he thinks better of it and stills underneath you. 

    "Don't you dare stop," he practically hisses and you realize you've just made one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, your master, turn to putty in your hands. 

    "What's the magic word?" 

    He lets out a shuddering sigh under you and keens out a quiet "Please."
