Conor (Blood and Thunder 5)

With white-hot revenge burning in her veins…

Karolina's thoughts on marriage didn't matter. She was just another pawn in her father's ruthless games—meant to be bartered, traded, or used as bait at his whim.

Karolina Karolides lost her innocence the night her mother was thrown from a helicopter into a featureless ocean by her merciless father, a notorious slaver. Now Karolina is to be offered as a bride to Irish hardman Conor Murphy in exchange for polo ponies and promises of unimaginable wealth.

Since her mother's death, Karolina's mission has been clear: free her father's captives and expose the full scope of his crimes. Is Conor Murphy merely a convenient path to freedom from the embassy, a means to exact her revenge… or does he have plans of his own?

Resisting a man with Conor's dark, magnetic charisma should be simple. She only has to play the part of the obedient bride… right? Surely a man so dangerously alluring couldn't be interested in the physical side of marriage with a spirited innocent.

Could he?
