Bound to the Flame

Mirya's life just went up in smoke. After a brutal betrayal, she flees her old world in a beat-up truck-and somehow crosses into a realm of firelit pagodas, glowing koi, and demons that whisper her name. Exhausted and alone, she's rescued by Rayden: a brooding, impossibly beautiful guardian with violet eyes and a secret he can't afford to break.

Thrust into the gilded cages of Majou's demon court-where souls are currency, secrets are lethal, and pleasure is power-Mirya must become a "distraction" in the gambling halls, a game piece in a deadly game. But as she learns to wield her own fierce spark-a magic born from heartbreak and rage-she finds she might be more than prey.

Drawn to Rayden's cold strength and haunted by the shadows that stalk her, Mirya must confront ancient vows, gamble her very soul, and ignite a passion that could shatter both their worlds. Because in a place where trust is the greatest risk of all, falling for her captor may be the only way to survive... and to burn brighter than the darkness that hunts her.

Bound to the Flame is a dark, steamy fantasy romance for fans of visceral world-building, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers tension, and heroines who rise from the ashes.
