BOUND TO THE OTHER SIDE Diane knows exactly what it feels like not to be chosen. After six years with the man she thought she'd marry, he leaves, and within months gives another woman everything he'd spent years telling Diane he wasn't ready for. So when a ten-week research assignment offers her the chance to disappear into a remote region near the Boundary, Diane takes it. She expects bad weather, unreliable signal, and enough forgotten history to keep her from checking her ex's wedding photographs. She does not expect to find a dying man where no man should be. Vaerik is arrogant, infuriatingly commanding, and far too beautiful for someone bleeding to death in the wilderness. Diane doesn't know who he is. She doesn't know what he is. She only knows that someone is hunting him. Saving him should have been the end of it. Instead, every touch between them seems to awaken something neither of them understands. Vaerik watches her as though she's done something impossible. Diane begins finding gaps in records that should exist, disappearances no one will discuss, and evidence that everything humanity has been taught about the land beyond the Boundary may be a lie. Because Vaerik isn't merely Fae. He is Lord Vaerik, second son of a ruling House and a commander of the Concord—the institution charged with keeping humans and Fae apart. And whatever is growing between them is something his people insist cannot exist. Someone dragged Vaerik across the Boundary for a reason. Someone has been erasing the truth for centuries. And now the one woman who has spent months wondering why she wasn't worth choosing may become the human a Fae lord is willing to risk everything to choose. The Boundary has kept their worlds apart for centuries. It was never meant to survive them.
