Velvet

A good princess does not seduce her enemies… but a desperate princess might.

With her small kingdom teetering on the brink of war, crown princess Viviette hatches a dangerous plan: seduce the enemy diplomats threatening the Peaks and uncover their sinister schemes. An excellent strategy … until she is caught red-handed by her father's loyal Spymaster.

Jaghar is a mystery. A menace. A cold and bitter man she's despised all her life. But rather than betraying her to the King, he offers her a bargain: in return for his discretion, she can join his clandestine army of masked spies who use pleasure and seduction to expose their enemies' secrets.

Armed with nothing but cunning and resolve, Viviette delves into his shockingly seductive world of dark desires and intrigue. But the more she learns about the scarred, silver-haired spymaster at the heart of the conflict, the less she can deny the forbidden fire flaring between them …

Caught in a tangled web of passion and conspiracies, will their fragile alliance shatter under the weight of their secrets? Or will it be the key to their salvation?

Please note: this story is darker and steamier than the Fae Isles books and contains threats of (sexual) violence, mentions of child abuse, and a heroine who doesn't mind using her body to get what she wants. Intended for a mature audience.
