Oath Series

When Royal's fiancé trades her to settle a debt, she's delivered to the most feared man in Ashland. She braces for cruelty, for punishment, for everything the rumors promise. What she doesn't expect is Oath Kreed. A crime lord who doesn't break her. Who studies her. Who sees the steel beneath her fear and decides he wants all of it. Three months. That's the contract. Three months in his world, under his rules, inside his control. But Oath doesn't want obedience. He wants her fire. Her resistance. Her choice. And the deeper Royal falls into his orbit, the more she realizes the real danger isn't his power. It's the way he makes her want to stay. This is a novella.
