The Warden's Binding

The moment Evelyn Hart signs the marriage contract, a black mark begins beating beneath her skin—and somewhere inside Kane Valerian’s bones, the same pain comes alive. He is the ruthless warden who ruined her last rescue and now holds her family’s license hostage. She is the disgraced disaster investigator who can hear catastrophes before they strike, and the only woman whose blood can seal the breach beneath his city. Their thirty-day fake marriage comes with strict rules, but every wound they share, every time he shields her, and every night they’re forced into the same bed tears those rules apart. As Evelyn uncovers the council’s deadly conspiracy, she learns their bond was never meant to save the city—it was designed to make one of them bear its final disaster. Will she destroy the contract and let Kane die, or write her name forever into the cage he built around them?
