“You don't have to reject me again—a second time. Just give the bond a chance. Maybe, in time, you'll accept me,” Elena said softly. "I will never accept a maid as my mate,” Damien spat. *************** Elena was never more than a maid in the eyes of Damien. She was quiet, invisible, and hopelessly in love with him; she buried her feelings, waiting for her eighteenth birthday—the day she would meet her true mate and finally move on. But fate had a cruel sense of humor. The mate she had hoped to forget turned out to be Damien—the very twin she had spent years pining for. And the moment he discovered the bond, he rejected her without explanation. Now, five years later, their paths cross once again. The bond is still there. So are the feelings she tried to kill. But Damien still sees her as beneath him. Then there’s Dante—the other twin. Charming, protective, and nothing like his cold, unfeeling brother. When he offers to help Elena make Damien jealous, she agrees, thinking it’s a harmless plan to win back the mate she was destined for. But what begins as a game soon turns into something tangled, real, and dangerously close to betrayal. Because Damien wants her back, but Dante’s no longer pretending. And Elena? She might just be falling for the wrong brother… or the right one.
