The third and final book in the steamy Lyonesse trilogy from the USA Today bestselling author of the Priest, New Camelot and Thornchapel series – a contemporary romance retelling of the legend of Tristan and Isolde.***I think it's important that you know this about me, that you understand this: I'm not sorry. I'd do it again. After Mark Trevena's husband died eight years ago, he made vengeance his only purpose, his religion, his destiny. But to get to his enemy, he had to make himself like his enemy. Mortimer Cashel had a kingdom of secrets? Then Mark would make an empire. Mortimer Cashel had blood on his hands? Then Mark would bathe in it.But Tristan and Isolde changed everything. Mark hadn't counted on wanting them, needing them; he hadn't counted on how it felt to watch the two of them fall in love. He'd thought he had everything under control – he'd thought he was safe from his own long-dead heart. He'd never imagined that the wronged husband, the jealous king from his childhood fairy tales, would be played by none other than himself.It no longer matters what he used to believe. His enemy is ready to finish the game, and for the first time in eight years, Mark has pieces on the board he can't afford to lose. He'll burn the entire world to keep Tristan and Isolde safe. He'll scorch the earth – but as any good assassin will tell you, fire will only get a man so far, because there's always something left in the ashes. And for Tristan and Isolde, what's left in the ashes is the cold, bitter bones of the truth: their story begins and ends with Mark.And every story needs a villain…The spicy and dramatic conclusion to the Lyonesse trilogy is a no-holds-barred thrill ride in which Mark, Tristan and Isolde must untangle the forbidden love between them as the stakes grow higher than ever.TropesReverse HaremMMF RomanceBDSMForbidden LoveSpicy RomanceLegendary RetellingThe Lyonesse Trilogy:Salt KissHoney CutBitter Burn
