Her magic could destroy them all. Their passion could save the world. Ayla needs help. She has more magic than ever before and no control over it. Not only is she dangerous to everyone around her, her magical bond with Zayne is growing stronger—and it’s all she can do to resist it. Zayne has an island to save and new powers he detests. The curse on his homeland remains, and only a set of black diamond shards hidden away at a trade assembly can fix it. Except it means sneaking into the assembly while yearning for a woman whose magic doesn’t know the meaning of subtle. As their irresistible passions bring the reluctant pair closer, the nightly ballroom parties hide something altogether more sinister. Someone is controlling the curse on Zayne’s homeland. If Ayla and Zayne don’t master their magic or have the courage to strengthen their bond, they’ll not only doom their loved ones—they’ll doom each other. Secrets and Starlight is the second sizzling romantasy book in the Bound by Thrones trilogy. If you love morally gray men, court intrigues, and accidental mates, slide into Secrets and Starlight!
