Came for Blood, Stayed for You

After the duke’s daughter Lydia Rhodes murders his father and a corrupt court leaves him for dead, scarred commoner Jasper Winters swears revenge. He is rescued by the mysterious healer Sirius Sterling and asks for one impossible favor: help him become Prince Dustin Armstrong’s Royal Consort. What Jasper does not know is that Sirius and Dustin are the same man. Remade as the nobleman Abram Gibson, Jasper enters the prince’s household, weaponizing beauty, nerve, and ruthless intelligence against Lydia, a jealous impostor, and the powerful Rhodes clan. Yet every scheme draws him closer to the very prince he meant to use. As Dustin secretly investigates Jasper’s father’s murder, Jasper’s fire-scarred dreams, lost memories, and uncanny resemblance to a woman from the empire’s past hint at a buried identity that could shake the throne. Their dangerous game of seduction becomes real love—but the Empress has already marked Jasper for death.
