King Reiks Book 1: King Reiks

King Reiks Book 1: King Reiks

Daphne Anders

On the planet Kepler, Princess Lyra stands at the edge of her destiny—and wants nothing to do with it. As one of the last Evols in the galaxy, she’s bound by ancient tradition to wed a king her father selects. Unfortunately for her stubborn streak, that king is Reiks: towering warlord of Valvor, feared by worlds, admired by none for his patience. He craves a bride who is strong, beautiful, and obedient. Lyra is two out of three… and proudly defiant about the last. What follows is a battle of wills so charged it could set galaxies ablaze, where every glance feels like a dare, and every touch threatens to rewrite the rules neither of them planned to break.

But hearts have a way of wandering, especially when two stubborn souls keep crossing paths where work and attraction collide.
