The Temperature of Love

The jewel of the Reverun Count’s family, the best bride-to-be in the Kingdom of Taluan.

But in truth, Maia Reverun was nothing more than a tool to be used in her father’s elaborate scheme.

“Maia, don’t cry. It hurts me.”

The only person who truly protected and cherished her was Deroan Elder, the enemy of the family she married for appearances’ sake.

But his approaching death.

“He’s going to die anyway. The dead don’t talk, and widow remarriage is legal in Taluan.”

Even knowing that Deroan would be killed by her own father, Maia made up her mind.

She would defy the fate of death tightening around her like a spiderweb.

“Count Reverun, it’s time to end this bad blood between us.”

So that, at last, they could become a real husband and wife.
