There is no one I hate more than Ksin Veyr. Unfortunately... I need him to fall in love with me. Verne Valedrath had never known fear. Born the pampered princess of the Carath Kingdom, she had spent her entire life believing nothing could touch her—not war, not betrayal, not even the enemies gathering beyond her kingdom's borders. Then, overnight, Carath fell. And the people responsible were still alive. Now, Verne has only one purpose: revenge. But reaching the people who destroyed her kingdom means getting close to the one man she hates most. Ksin Veyr. The personal guard of the man she loves. A soldier of the enemy empire. To bring down the enemy from within, Verne must do the unthinkable: Make Ksin fall in love with her. But as war closes in around them, the lie between them begins to change everything. Because Verne is carrying a secret. Ksin is hiding one of his own. And the relationship between them may be enough to start another war.
