FIRE & LEDGER

Her stepmother sold her to an abbey. But Talia survived—and she never stopped counting. Then dragon lord Damian Vardis pulls her out. She ends up running his books, standing as his witness—and she's his fated mate. Together, they uncover a conspiracy that ties together murder, stolen fortunes—and the crown's dirtiest books. She moves through prison cells and royal courts, through dragonfire and loss—always counting her way back. It's not just about justice. It's about proving that a merchant's daughter can balance any debt. Even if it costs her everything.
