What if a soldier and a civilian wanted to escape from Ares' army? Vilet isn't looking for love. She's looking for freedom from war-torn Eriset. But when a handsome stranger saves her from an attack, she feels drawn to him in a way she can't explain. After a blistering one-night stand, her worst fear comes true. She discovers he isn't a savior. He's a soldier for Ares, the enemy, the god of war. Plucked from the streets as a child, Leander has been molded into a weapon. The thick scars crisscrossing his body tell the story. Although his skills have promoted him, he secretly wants out of this life. Ares is bloodthirsty-not the kind of ruler to betray-but after Leander meets Vilet, he's willing to take the risk. Can they survive the gigantic odds against them and finally find peace?
