Being a new bride comes with some unexpected benefits.

Nina has an awakening, thanks to her new dragon shifter husband. She’s just not sure Ash knows what he’s unleashed.

But it’s not all marital bliss—

◆ Someone has it out for Nina and wants to see her meet a violent end.

◆ And Ash, her so-called fated mate, has been holding out on her.

◆ Then pile on Ash’s ex who obviously still has the hots for him no matter how much she pretends it’s just business.

While Nina is busy playing checkers with Ash and his ex, someone else is playing chess. And Nina is nothing more than a pawn in their game.
