Duchess' Throne

Jessika finds herself struggling to move past the death of loved ones and keep her friends and family alive as the Grand Lord becomes more insistent on finalizing the last part of the Ashridge - Kaletta Territory Agreement. She reaches out to trusted sources to find any kind of loophole to get her and Jayden out of the agreement neither of them wanted a part of in the first place. Once Jayden is out of harm's way, the real battle begins. Aiden is attempting to balance his protectiveness as not only Jess's Vernadali, but also her mate. Still learning how to tread that fine line, mistakes are made, trust is tested, and hard lessons are learned. He knows one thing though. Once he finds a way to keep all of those he loves safe, he will ask Jess one final important question. The final battle almost costs them everything, but with the help of Aiden's family, will they still be able to have their happily ever after?
