Shards of Fire (Unyielding Hearts Book 3)

Sabina St. Vincent Orlov is known as the Diviner—a hedge fund legend with an uncanny gift for sensing the movement of markets. At the top of her game, heir to the reclusive Lomea tribe and married into the powerful Orlov dynasty, her life seems perfect.

But beneath the glittering surface lies a terrible truth: three years ago, she married a monster. And now, every move she makes is about survival and protecting herself and her young son from his cruelty.

When a twist of fate ends her husband’s life, Sabina believes she’s finally free … until her father invokes an ancient Lomean tradition—a ghost marriage. Overnight, she’s bound to her late husband’s brother, Konstantin Orlov.

Brilliant and guarded, Konstantin is nothing like his brother. Yet danger stalks Sabina from every side, forcing her to rely on the diplomat in ways she never imagined. And as the shadows close in, she discovers Konstantin is dangerous in an entirely different way—and the one thing she may not be able to protect is her heart.

Jaded by loss, Konstantin Orlov has no use for love—or superstition. When his brother’s widow is forced upon him through an outdated ritual, he intends to resist. But Sabina St. Vincent Orlov isn’t what she seems. And she may also be his only path to vengeance.

To Konstantin, their bond is a marriage of convenience, a means to a brutal end. But the longer he spends with Sabina and her son, the harder it becomes to distinguish between duty and desire. As danger closes in, Konstantin must choose between the retribution he’s longed for and betraying the only woman to break past his defenses—and capture his heart.
