Gavril of Aquina

You can’t hide from fate… In a brutal betrayal, Gavril Khalon lost everything—his throne, his magic, and his freedom. He may have escaped captivity, but any hope of reclaiming his kingdom was burned out of his soul, along with his heart. Now his only goal is survival. But when he’s injured escaping the palace guards, he’s rescued by a strong, protective woman whose touch stirs parts of himself he thought long dead, and she refuses to let him fade back into anonymity. When the throne was usurped seven years ago, Shyla used the chaos to escape the new king’s clutches. She’s built a new life for herself with her own shop and avoids drawing any attention, even if that makes her lonely. When a wounded stranger falls into her arms, she never expected to find the king everyone thinks is dead. Even more shocking is the scorching attraction between them. Shyla knows she must help Gavril regain his magic and his throne, even if the stubborn man fights her the whole way, because the new king has a plan to harness the power of the goddesses which could destroy the entire kingdom. Gavril’s the only man strong enough to save them. But just knowing Gavril is dangerous. As his enemies close in, Shyla discovers a strength she didn’t know she had and Gavril must choose between his kingdom and the woman he desires above all else. A sweet and steamy tale with a wounded king, a strong, determined woman, and the magic of true love. Contains a very happy ending with no cliff hangers.
