Blood Sweeter Than Honey
by Chiara Forestieri
After leaving the military and an all-too-violent past behind, Gideon craved nothing more than solitude — a peaceful life carved out under open skies and green pastures. So when the local sheriff asks him to take in a mysterious woman, he is far from thrilled. Yet with every moment he spends in Winnow's presence, some unseen cord winds tighter inside him, drawing him toward her. Soon enough, the urge to protect her — to truly care for her — settles deep in his bones, impossible to ignore.
After surviving a war and a traumatic past, Winnow was endowed with the Duchy of Cerulia — thrust into a life she never wanted, bound by a duty she never chose. When a rare chance for a vacation appears, she seizes it — only for everything to go horrifically awry. Just when all hope seems lost, the universe rewrites her path in the most unexpected way, and she finds herself with nowhere to go but into the arms of a gruff cowboy — her soulbound.
