One woman. Two forbidden men. A kingdom that could tear them apart.
After catching her fiancé in bed with someone else, Stella swore off love. But when her best friend vanishes, leaving behind only a cryptic tarot card, she's pulled through a portal into the fantasy realm of Towerfall—landing in the middle of a fight between two dangerously gorgeous warriors.
Prince Valen Greymourn has two weeks to marry, or his parents will force him to take a bride. It's a problem, considering his heart already belongs to his best friend and captain of the guard, Marek Drayk. Stella's arrival is an opportunity wrapped in temptation—if she agrees to a marriage of convenience, Valen will help her find her missing friend.
But to convince the court, Stella and Valen must play the part of passionate lovers. And Marek? He refuses to stand aside.
Behind closed doors, tension turns to touch, pretending into pleasure. Desire ignites. Lines blur. And when betrayal threatens their fragile bond, Stella faces an impossible choice—walk away from the two men who have claimed her heart, or defy an empire for a love that was never meant to exist.
