Bound By Love - Tales from Devmaer
A reader asked me what happens with Xane and Jules (from Bound To The Admiral) after Kai and Gael set sail for Elsinania. Interesting question, I thought. So I wrote their story in this novella.
Blurb:
She’s supposed to be his ward but he’s treating her like a prisoner.
Stuck on a massive estate where she has no family or friends, Jules decides to unlock the Kedrant magic that is her heritage. Forbidden to do so, she must conceal the rituals that will liberate her heart and soul.
Major domo Xane has been trusted to safeguard her from her dangerous impulses. If she won’t listen to reason, then perhaps some old-fashioned discipline will teach her to obey.
While trying to tame Jules’s wild heart, Xane risks losing his.
Warning: Devmaer isn’t a world of political correctness. If you don’t like a spicy tale of a woman’s submission, please don’t read this story.
