Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round An Old Oak Tree

“Show me,” he said, voice low and rough, “how good you're willing to serve me.” I should’ve spat in his face. Except, I nodded…because outside that tent, his men waited. The ones who’d tear me apart piece by piece if I said no. The ones I’d be handed to. I slid my palm between my thighs, breath hitching at my own touch, just a warning stroke and to stay alive. But when I brushed again, deeper this time, I gasped. “Keep going,” Malrik said, leaning back, watching like I was the most fascinating sin he’d ever seen. So I did. With shame thick in my throat and my heart pounding against cracked ribs. I did it for my sister, for survival, for him. *** Kaelith thought being rejected by her mate was the worst thing that could happen but she was wrong.

Dans ce monde de loyauté brisée et de pouvoirs clandestins, l’amour n’est qu’un leurre, une faiblesse que seuls les naïfs osent encore convoiter. Moi, Nina, je l’ai appris à mes dépens. Tout avait commencé comme une mission simple : séduire Espoir, le chef d’une mafia redoutée, m’infiltrer dans sa vie et soutirer les informations qui mettraient fin à son empire. Ce n’était pas la première fois que Jonas, mon patron, me confiait une mission aussi risquée. Mais cette fois, quelque chose était différent. Espoir n’était pas comme les autres hommes. Dès le premier regard, m’a troublée. Pas seulement par son charisme glacial, mais par une profondeur dans ses yeux qui semblait murmurer des secrets que même lui ignorait. Pourtant, je savais qui il était : un homme dangereux, un ennemi. Et moi, j’étais sa prétendue alliée, une femme avec une arme secrète – son cœur. Mais ce que je n’avais pas prévu, c’était ma propre faiblesse. Je m’étais promis de ne jamais mêler mes émotions à mes missions. L’amour était un luxe que je ne pouvais pas me permettre, surtout dans ce monde cruel. Pourtant, chaque instant passé avec lui fragilisait mes résolutions. Et maintenant, je suis là, prise au piège entre deux feux : Jonas, à qui je dois tout et qui ne tolère pas l’échec, et Espoir, cet homme que je devais détruire, mais qui m’a fait redécouvrir des émotions que je pensais perdues. Alors que tout s’écroule autour de moi, une question me hante : jusqu’où suis-je prête à aller pour protéger l’homme que je devrais trahir… et l’enfant que je dois sauver ? Mon nom est Nina. Et ceci est mon histoire, une histoire d’amour, de trahison et de rédemption.
