When Prince Duncan Caldwell loses his way home and knocks on a stranger’s door, looking to find shelter, he doesn’t know his life is about to change forever. Not because he can’t tear his gaze away from the beautiful woman who opens that door, but more so because she’s a stranger yet he can’t shake the feeling she belongs to him. And discovering she’s been banned from his home can’t stop the vortex of his feelings nor the truth of his world from crashing down on him.
This is just the beginning of the Virtus Saga, where nothing is as it seems. Not the world, since its all-pervading sex drive hides a scary lack of violence. Not the people, since soul mates Prince Duncan Caldwell and Lord Christopher Templeton share a love that is unrivaled until that fateful knock on Ylianor Meyer’s dilapidated shack.
This book starts the love and the passion that entwines fiery sex into this intricate three-way relationship. It’s a unique connection, laced with jealousy and violence that are unknown to their world. This is not just another erotic dark fantasy series. This is the making of a trio. Of three remarkable characters that must overcome their uncontrollable lust to face the truth about themselves and their planet if they want to defeat the darkness about to devour them. To be as one whilst three! To share power and love in equal measures. This is their real challenge, the lesson they must learn. Otherwise, how will their world survive?
Excerpt
Chapter Six
Princess...
Prince Charles’s throaty whisper boomed in her head as he caught sight of her poised on the windowsill of his room. I’m so glad you came to see me.
Sure he was. Since he had fallen ill, Sophia Caldwell had locked him in his bedroom and kept everyone out. Not little Ylianor, though. She climbed through the window every day to visit him, sitting by his bed and holding his hand tightly. Most of the times, she did not even dare breathe, lest she disturbed him, for she could tell how weak he really was. That funny way his lights had of shutting down was something she had only seen in an old horse. And then the horse had died, so she presumed Prince Charles would, too. But she refused to think it would happen any time soon.
So am I, Father. Jumping down, she neared his bed.
He winced. You know I’m not your father. Yes, she knew the term disturbed him. John is your father.
I know, but... Ill at ease, she shifted her feet, staring at them as though they were the most fascinating things in the world. It just seems so right...
Truth was—her nine-year-old self lacked the proper word to express how deeply she felt about him.
His eyes flashed in disagreement, but he did not repeat what he had told her a thousand times already—about how wrong it was for her to think of him as her father.
And you know I’m right. She stomped her feet to prove her point. If he’s really my father, why can’t I talk to him like I can to you? Without opening my mouth, I mean.
Ah, Princess, it doesn’t work like that. He chuckled softly.
Then tell me how it works, Father. But this she had not shared seeing how exhausted he was, more than any of the previous times before.
Suddenly, a noise at the door had her scurrying away, after placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
Gotta run now. Whatever happened, she dreaded Sophia catching her inside the room. It would mean the end of her stolen times with Prince Charles, and she did not have the heart to stand it. Someone’s coming, so I’ll see you tomorrow—
No, wait. Already balanced on the windowsill, one leg dangled outside, while the other was still inside, gaze locking on his burning eyes. Don’t ever forget that I love you, sweet princess.
No, Father, please don’t go! She rushed back, cold fear gripping her stomach as all his lights went off all together, all at once.
Just promise. After this final painful breath, his eyes closed, and the room went completely dark.
I promise, Father. Holding on bravely, she tried to stifle the pain threatening to swallow her whole. But how could she now that her world had gone eerily silent and empty?
Very interesting situation. I wonder where it leads from here.
Excellent details!
The sadness in this excerpt just grabbed me
Yeah, it’s a little girl’s heartache for the death of the man she considers her father. And though he is not, the pain is no lessdeep or piercing 🙁

Ah! What a bittersweet excerpt. I would like to know why she’s in such a predicament.
I have this on my kindle, but I need to move it up my TBR list. Sounds like a fab read
It’s a sad excerpt, but also an insight into little Ylianor’s past and her ties with Prince Charles, a man who is not her father yet is as close as one. It all has to do with their Virts, or special abilities, to mind-talk and share feeling⅝s and emotions without opening their mouths. Same thing that will happen to her and Duncan, only it will turn everything into hot sex and melting passion!
It’s all part of the Virtus magic, which I hope you enjoy reading as much as I did writing it 🙂
