Description
A spontaneous mistake was never supposed to change their lives. Falling in love definitely wasn’t part of the plan.
Liora has spent years keeping her distance from everyone around her. Ever since childhood, she’s been taught that her magical abilities are dangerous and best kept hidden. Learning to conceal her powers meant learning to guard her heart as well. Now living in Vale Crossing, she’s finally putting her gifts to good use by helping locate and protect the vulnerable descendants of Zeus. Her mission is important, and distractions are the last thing she needs.
Maldenis has a reputation for taking nothing too seriously. As a basilisk born into a family of high achievers, he’s always felt like the odd one out. While his relatives chase greatness, he’s perfected the art of coasting through life on charm, wit, and low expectations. Commitment has never been on his agenda, and marriage is the furthest thing from his mind.
Until one impulsive night changes everything.
Suddenly, Liora and Maldenis find themselves legally bound together with no easy way out. Faced with an inconvenient reality, they strike a practical agreement: stay married for a year and a day, keep things strictly temporary, and go their separate ways once the time is up.
Simple enough.
Except the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to maintain the act. Beneath Maldenis’s carefree attitude lies a man struggling to believe he’s capable of more than everyone expects. And beneath Liora’s carefully built walls is someone who secretly longs for connection, even if she’s terrified of what it might cost.
As their reluctant partnership evolves into something far more complicated, both must decide whether they’re willing to risk their hearts for a future neither of them ever saw coming.
Filled with magic, humor, reluctant attraction, and heartfelt emotion, this charming fantasy romance explores self-worth, trust, and the unexpected ways love can find us when we least expect it.
