Downloading Soot & Cinders (Evenloch Tales 1)
Cyprien
Life on the farm was harsh, with long days and and even longer nights serving my stepfamily by working on the land–but it was better than my only alternative. I never thought I needed rescuing, I just needed my step family to meet with an unfortunate end–or just pack up and leave me with the house and the land, I wasn’t picky. But Alaric rescued me any damned way, and in ways I could have never imagined. Was this my happy ending?
Alaric
I wasn’t looking for love–or even a second night spent together, but Father was insistent on “producing an heir for the crown.” His words, not mine. Then I met Cyprien, and though I didn’t really know him, I would have burned the world down to have him (to keep him), to make him the happiest man in all of Evenloch. Would my kingdom survive such a pairing? I didn’t know but most importantly, I didn’t care. He was my fate and I wasn’t letting go–even if it killed me.
