Heartstrings of a Mercenary

Claire has been promised to a wealthy stranger to settle her mother's debt, and she holds onto the hope that the match will mean a secure future.

Her escort, Ash, is a hardened mercenary bound to the man she is meant to marry, and the journey is dangerous from the start.

Nights beside the fire and battles fought together pull them closer than either expected.

Claire begins to see past Ash's guarded exterior, and he can no longer pretend that protecting her is all he wants.

Danger tightens around them as loyalty collides with something far more fragile, leaving Claire to choose the life arranged for her or gamble everything on a love that was never supposed to happen.
