Ava They say no good deed goes unpunished. Isn’t that the truth. My good deed confined me to my own personal prison, with a target on my back. But when my childhood best friend, the Prince of Telliva, asks for my help, promising me my freedom in return, I find myself in danger from enemies, both seen and unseen. I'd give anything to protect and save him. His father knows this, and it’s condemned me to hell, with no way out. Lies. Deceit. Betrayal. When the one I’ve vowed to defend is heir to the throne, I can only hope to make it out alive, with my head still intact. Then he shows up, handsome, and built to kill, threatening to ruin everything. Garrett I was born a bastard. A privileged asshole, with little to no regard for anyone else. But when another attempt is made on my brother’s life, my carefree lifestyle changes. Murder. Bribes. Lust. Now I’m stepping in, determined to eliminate those who wish to annihilate my family. Then, and only then, would I rest… That is, until she betrays me.
