Dominion

Albu Andreea

Mura was raised in a world where alliances are sealed in blood and daughters are traded for power. She never sought control, only survival — until fate places the most dangerous man in the south at her mercy. Kazimir of Drakovia is a feared warrior and the rightful heir to a ruthless throne. When he is taken captive by mistake and delivered into Mura’s hands, neither of them expects the fire that ignites between them. What begins as power and resentment quickly turns into something far more dangerous.

There should be only hatred between them. Instead, there is hunger.

When Kaz escapes and returns to claim his revenge, he no longer comes back just as an enemy, but as the man who knows exactly how to unravel her. And revenge is never simple when desire is stronger than hate.

An intense, addictive dark romance filled with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, morally gray characters, and a passion that burns as fiercely as war itself.

Desire runs dangerous. And every choice carries a cost she might not be ready to pay.

He volunteers to be her bodyguard, determined to shield her from the chaos threatening to consume her—and his interest goes far beyond protection. With sparks flying and old wounds resurfacing, Lacey must decide if the boy who once tormented her might now be the man she needs. But opening her heart could mean risking everything she’s built—and herself.
