Blurb:
Jessa
is one healing away from death. Under the thrall of her gift, the
Court's Senior Healer risks giving her life in exchange for her
patient's.
Vale is a rebel ruler. When his brother is
killed, he's given the throne and the decree from the Court to produce
an heir or lose his family's hold on the land--and his deceiving
advisors aren't afraid to use murder as a weapon if their directive to
stay away from the Senior Healer goes unheeded.
But Vale
burns to possess Jessa. The heat between them leaves a wake of smoke,
and even the powerful forces above want to bind them in a union that
lasts forever. Vale taking another would be a betrayal neither could
survive.
Their enemies fear a child born of such a
powerful Healer and Warrior, but the true threat lies in the bond forged
in shadows and fused in fire.

Excerpt from Ruined:
"You." Fury burned hot under Jessa's
skin as she glared at Vale. "Who do you think you are, demanding I come
live in this castle? You can't just order your guards to enter a woman's
home and pack up her things."
"Well, I did." Vale came around the desk and propped one hip against it, more of a threatening than casual movement.
"Someone tried to kill me. It makes sense that I have my Healer close by."
She
released a pent-up breath. "Why couldn't you have explained that
instead of mandating?" Silly. Her imagination had run away with her. The
king needed his Healer. But the realization he didn't want her made her
angrier.
"Because I didn't want to give you the option of saying no."
She most definitely would have said no.
"If you would have explained your reasoning, I would have complied. Your safety and health come first, even if I-"
"Even if you what?"
"Loathe
you." She bunched her fingers into two fists, seriously tempted to hit
him. For all the nonexistent pain it would inflict upon him.
"Do you?" His tone deadened with calm. "Because I can't stop thinking about you."
"That's normal." She brushed off the claim. "I saved your life."
He
moved in a blur. A true Shadow Shifter. One second he stood near his
desk, the next he had her in his arms, one locked around her waist and
one hand tangled in her hair. Their lips almost brushed.
"I
can't stop thinking about you." His murmur played down her spine,
leaving a tingling trail. His scent invaded her. His voice embraced her
like bare skin against satin sheets.
Her heart beat fast, her pulse jumped.
She disliked him, but didn't want him to let her go.
"Have you been thinking about me?" His soft tone feathered over her flesh.
"Only how much I dislike you." Lust pulsed in her belly.
He
pulled her head back gently by her hair, so they looked straight into
each other's eyes. Their bodies pressed tightly together. "Liar."
