Bound to the Burn (Dark Why Choose Worlds #10)

Ten standalone why-choose romances.Ten impossible bonds. One collection of women powerful enough to ruin kingdoms—and the dangerous men who would burn for them.

In Bound to the Burn, forbidden magic is never gentle, desire is never simple, and love always comes with a price.Inside this collection:
