Begging The Ruthless Warlord For More
A Reluctant Historical Dark RomanceBy Everly Hernandez
Length8h 45m
About this audiobook
Elena is nothing more than a seamstress - quiet, obedient, and invisible within the stone walls of Summerset. Her world is thread, linen, and silence… until the Northern Warlord conquers the castle and notices her.
Lord Alaric is forged from war and iron. He rules through force, fear, and unyielding will. His marriage is a political bargain, cold and bloodless - but Elena’s presence awakens a hunger he refuses to deny.
Dragged from the shadows into his private domain, Elena faces a choice she was never meant to make: resist the man who owns the castle… or surrender to the dangerous pull between them.
Their connection is forbidden. Their difference in station is absolute. And if discovered, Elena would lose everything she has left.
But Alaric does not conquer halfway.
