The man beside me kisses the back of my hand. He says jealously, "What makes you think you're worthy of her love when even I've yet to win her heart?"

Arya Vitale, the daughter of his sworn enemy was supposed to be a bargaining chip

is the only thing that could destroy him is the only thing that could destroy him?
And a war that demands blood….even if it’s hers.
