In a game of power, can love be the deadliest weapon?

Dive into the spellbinding world of New Imperium where magic tattoos grant power, negotiations are battles of wit, and two stubborn women must confront their explosive past to save their future.

What makes this sapphic fantasy romance irresistible:

✨ Second chance romance between a silver-tongued negotiator and a secret princess

🔥 Explicit steam that readers call "taken to another level" and "scorching hot"

👑 Royal intrigue, political machinations, and a villain you'll love to hate

💔 Angst, betrayal, and yearning that will twist your heart beautifully

🎭 A masquerade ball where secrets come undone

💜 Found family dynamics with beloved characters from Book 1

🗡️ Battles of wit as thrilling as sword fights

The Story:

Stirling Grey never loses a negotiation—except to Morrigan Lee. Two years after their devastating breakup, the Queen forces these former lovers to work together on a mission that could save or destroy the kingdom. With investiture approaching and a power-hungry villain threatening the crown, Stirling and Morrigan must navigate their tangled past while uncovering deadly conspiracies.

But when every touch ignites old flames and every glance holds years of longing, the real question becomes: are they fighting to save the throne, or to rekindle a love that could be their ultimate ruin?
