The Alpha King's Secret Maid

Princess Lanthe Fenris had everything until the night her parents' blood soaked the floors of Silvermist Castle and the warlord who murdered them declared her his to claim. Ancient law says the man who mates and marks her becomes king. So Lanthe runs, hiding behind a spell that erases her face, her scent, her entire identity, and disappears into the one place her hunter won't dare follow: the frozen fortress of Oakhaven's Alpha King.

She should be safe as a nameless servant. She is anything but safe the moment Nikolai Blackwood's eyes find hers in a dark hallway.

Something ignites between them that neither can explain, a hunger that defies logic, a pull that feels like fate screaming through a wall neither of them can see. Nikolai doesn't know why a mere servant sets his blood on fire. He only knows he can't stay away from her, and he drags her into his private chambers to find out why.

Lanthe knows exactly what it means. And she knows that if the truth surfaces, if the mate bond breaks free of the spell holding it prisoner, everything she's run from will find her again.

But some secrets aren't built to last. Some fires aren't built to be smothered. And when the man hunting her finally arrives at Oakhaven's gates, Lanthe will have to decide whether to keep hiding behind a stranger's face, or step into the firelight as exactly who she was born to be.

A princess with nothing left to lose. A king who doesn't share what's his. And a war coming that will decide who truly wears the crown.
