The Hexbound Heir

His black-fire curse should have killed him before sunrise. Instead, Nolan Kade woke with Evelyn’s handprint burned into his chest—and a marriage pact sealed between them. She only wanted enough money to pay her debt and find her missing brother. Now the dying heir is the only man who can protect her from the city guard, while every touch between them could either save his life or unleash forbidden magic. Hunted as a traitor, Evelyn is forced to flee beside the cold man she distrusts—until they discover the curse came from inside his own family, and Nolan begins to suspect she is his long-lost fiancée. When Nolan exposes Evelyn’s buried bloodline before the entire city, she must choose: break their pact and let him die, or embrace the power that will make her the most wanted woman alive.
