Böcker av Eden Winters

One man is the son of a traitor. The other is the son of a tyrannical emperor. Together, they discover the fine line between duty and justice. Commander Draylon Aravaid doesn't hide his lineage as the emperor's son but doesn't advertise his origins either. Loyal to a fault, he relies on his hard-won reputation rather than his family name, which his duplicitous father uses to full advantage. Prince Yarif DiRici trained his entire life to become a consort in a political marriage--all while secretly yearning for love. The death of his father and older brother suddenly thrusts an unwanted crown upon his head, and Yarif into a whirlwind of dangerous plans within plans as he and Draylon are forced into marriage. The political game is set, and Yarif is kidnapped. It's up to Draylon to mount a daring rescue to prevent all-out war. The two men must get past each other's mistrust, find common ground, and defeat an enemy neither knew they had...and may not survive!

A long-ago meeting sets fate into motion... As captain of the city guards, Martin protects E'Skaara by day. At night, he creeps in shadows to defend the citizens from predators most cannot see. He's escaped from his past as a mage-born lad who'd nearly destroyed a village in self-defense. The three things he can't so easily elude? Rage at a deity who condemns mages to death, memories of a pirate who saved him, and the magic he must conceal. Tavernkeeper Peter keeps secrets. Secrets that can get him killed: his desire for men, a pirate past, and magical abilities. He should run from the one place mages cannot be safe, but yearning for a lost love binds him to where they shared their last kiss, waiting for one more glimpse of a dear face. When dark forces reunite them, the magic both men try so hard to hide might just be their salvation.
