I know her. She’s beautiful and brilliant and absolutely perfect.
She’s also the only fae who has ever hated me.
My mate.
Now I have a chance to make up for my mistakes, prove to Aspen that I’m not some dumb guard who can’t string together a sentence. The more time we spend together, the more I’m falling for her, and that hope might destroy me.
The Stars showed me my mate, but she still has no idea what we are.
Aspen
The last time I saw him, I told him I never wanted to see him again.
Until a summons brings me face to face with the guard who turned the worst day of my life into a nightmare.
The new king and queen have requested my help in uncovering a witch within the library I call home, but it means I’m forced to work with him.
Except the guard isn’t as awful as I made him out to be in my head. Malachi is funny, brilliant, and redefines everything I’ve ever known and experienced in life.
This is all a guise, but I’m starting to wonder if maybe I’ve been guarding myself from the truth.
