***

Savannah Abbott was my best friend growing up, and the reason I could be the best version of myself.

But then, without warning, she was gone. And my life began unravelling the day she left. My guard went up, and my ability to trust people disappeared.

But now, Savannah is back in Magnolia Falls, and she’s acting like I’m the enemy.

That is, until she needs a favour. A temporary husband …

I may fight flames for a living, but my new wife is the fire that’s been missing all along. None of this is real, we remind ourselves while we’re playing house.

But maybe, for her, I’m willing to bend the rules …

 Many years ago, a barrier was created between the mortal world and the realm of the gods, a barrier to ensure balance.

Some saw these gifts as a blessing. Most saw them for what they were…a curse.

Chiara is one of the Gifted, but what no one knows is that she is one of the rarest, gifted by the God of Death himself.

As a child she was sold to the king by her own mother and forced to become a weapon of destruction, cutting down the enemy with brutal precision.

But now Chiara faces an impending threat that could unravel the world. She must decide who to trust – the man whose smile and charm comes so easily, or the dark prince who's known betrayal like she has…
