The Guild wants my husband dead.

And the most dangerous mage-lawyer alive is forcing me to choose between signing divorce papers… or his death warrant.

Mark is my Charge—the man I was born to love, protect, and die for. He walked away to protect me from the darkness inside him.

But when we reunite at his grandparents’ funeral, the bond between us ignites all over again—fierce, inevitable, unbreakable.

That’s when Rick strikes.

He discovers I’m pregnant—and delivers his ultimatum:

Divorce Mark…
or watch him executed.

If I stand beside my husband, the Guild will drag him to trial for the power I transferred to him—and expose our unborn child to a magical world already sharpening its knives.

They fear Mark’s darkness.

They should.

Because if they force me to choose between love and survival—

I won’t be the only one who burns.
