—Tu cama está fría —habló una voz en la habitación que hizo que abriera los ojos de par en par por el miedo. Nerviosa, se giró, tragando suavemente al ver una sombra en su cama como si alguien yaciera allí. El hombre que había estado tumbado se sentó, emergiendo de las sombras donde había estado esperándola. —¿Qué haces aquí? —preguntó ella cuando sus pies tocaron el suelo y él se impulsó hacia arriba para empezar a caminar hacia ella. Sus rasgos guapos se veían más oscuros de lo habitual por la falta de luz en la habitación. —Vine a encontrarte —inclinó la cabeza—, ¿a dónde fuiste? —Salí a caminar —fue la rápida respuesta que hizo que él sonriera, una sonrisa que a ella le daba más miedo. Ella dio un paso atrás cuando él se acercó a ella. Eso no lo detuvo de acorralarla, y su espalda golpeó la pared detrás de ella. Levantó la mano hacia su rostro, y ella cerró los ojos, asustada. Ella tembló cuando sus dedos trazaron un camino desde su sien pasando por su mandíbula y cuello. Su cabello rubio estaba suelto. —¿En medio de la noche? —ella no le respondió sabiendo que él podía descifrar sus mentiras a través de sus palabras. Él se acercó más, lo que hizo que ella girara su rostro lejos de él y sus palabras vibraron en la piel de su cuello—, ¿fuiste a verlo, mi dulce niña?

Between laugh-out-loud moments, explosive action, and unexpected twists, Ethan navigates his double life while trying to protect Mia, keep his identity hidden, and maybe—just maybe—figure out how to confess his feelings without being a complete disaster.

[Advertencia: contenido maduro r18+/fuerte] Él es su salvación. Ella, su perdición. Sin embargo, se niega a dejarla ir... Mineah, la Princesa más joven de Ebodia, fue maldecida al nacer para permanecer inmaculada y traer desgracia a los que la rodean. Esta profecía se cierne sobre ella como una nube oscura, creciendo cada año que no se cumple. Existe en rumores susurrados como una figura lastimera: frágil, sumisa, indeseable.

Pedí a propósito una bañera grande para estar seguro de que los dos cabríamos en ella juntos. Ella suspiró, sin apartar la mirada de él mientras recuperaba la compostura. Al verlo sonreír con suficiencia, se obligó a sentirse cómoda mientras él hablaba. —Así está mejor. Dijiste tú misma que nadie te obligó a casarte conmigo. En cambio, te ofreciste y te ofreciste voluntariamente para hacerlo, así que espero que tengas la seguridad suficiente para compartir un baño con tu marido —afirmó con confianza Nikolai—. Después de todo, pronto haremos más que solo esto. Descarado... Evitando rodar los ojos, logró darle una sonrisa mientras decía: —No me culpes si luego mueres por mi culpa. **** Nota: La portada del libro fue encargada y es propiedad del autor.
