There is no lover for you in all of Carum Sound.

Prophecy or not, Princess Conora refuses to accept a life of celibacy—especially not after meeting the suave and sensual Prince Calosandros from beyond Carum Sound. Their similar Gifts even provide a connection: he can speak any language, and she can talk to animals. So, when he proposes marriage during their first meeting, Conora sees an opportunity to regain control of her life and impulsively accepts the offer.

But can she trust his seduction, or are his promises of passion and freedom too good to be true? Between clashing cultures, imposing families, and tightly-held secrets, this convenient marriage may cost them more than they bargained for.

Two forbidden lovers share the rare gift to heal others with a kiss—but at a cost.

Odelia’s life has been a lie. When the queen tries to remove her from the palace, Odelia uncovers the truth. Now she must decide whether to forsake her people or embrace a destiny that would pit her against the current heir to the throne...her best friend. Even worse, the king gives Prince Kennard one year to find a bride—and Odelia is nowhere near suitable. Unaware of her possible betrayal, Kennard tries to help Odelia by hiring her as his private secretary. But the change in status proves just as dangerous to their friendship as distance would be. Though her only hope of avoiding a civil war lies in winning his heart, revealing her secrets too soon could cost both their lives.

And a kiss might not be strong enough to save them…

Odelia got everything she wanted—and it just might kill her.

She and Kennard have pulled off a successful coup, but to hold on to their turbulent kingdom, they must accomplish the impossible: survive long enough to ensure Meriveria is safe, keep their marriage from crumbling under the pressure of ruling, and safely deliver their promised heir.  Although Odelia’s pregnancy helped them in their coup, no Healer has ever survived childbirth before. Subduing the opposition means sentencing Kennard’s family, possibly to death. And with Meriveria still at war, victory may require costly and unpleasant alliances. As Kennard and Odelia build their future together, it could cost them everything and everyone they hold dear.
