The Governant

Dark romance meets sharp political satire.

In Xandria, keeping your head down is how you stay alive. Nino Wyre knows this. He's a repairman-he fixes what's broken and never asks questions. But when a gold-embossed summons demands his services at the Governor's mansion, refusing isn't an option. What he finds there will ruin him.

Elena Vanse is the most beautiful woman Nino has ever seen-and the most trapped. Married to a monster who trades women like currency, she lives in a gilded cage where every smile is a performance and every bruise is hidden beneath silk. When she looks at Nino's hands and sees something capable of more than repair, she makes him an offer that could destroy them both.

But Elena isn't the only one who notices him. In the burned-out farmlands beyond the city, a woman named Wren is fighting a different kind of war-and Nino is about to become a weapon in a battle he never knew existed.
