Скачать или смотреть **THE KING WHO COULD NOT BLUFF***A Rom-Com Fantasy in Eight Acts of Emotional Terror*

He was built for war. He was not built for feelings*.*

King Hendrick Vance: Seven feet four inches of scarred muscle, black armor, and battlefield trauma. The Drake-Slayer. The Iron Shadow. The man who once held three hundred hostile lords in silence with a single eyebrow.

He’s also wearing gold silk underwear, terrified of horses (they’re unionized), and currently holding a knife to his own throat—metaphorically speaking—because the woman in his dungeon is his *fated mate*.

And he *cannot lie to her.*

Not a little white lie. Not a bluff. Not even a strategic omission.

One look at Renaim Pira Luxing—enemy spy, daughter of his father’s murderer, owner of aggressively bony elbows—and Hendrick’s tactical brain melts into confessional soup. He’s telling her the treasury codes. He’s showing her the escape tunnels. He’s confessing to his emotional support dog (Bernard, a mastiff, likes cheese, has a forged therapy license) and his nightlight (ceramic moon, very sensitive).

She’s supposed to be his prisoner. Instead, she’s becoming his queen.

*She’s planning her escape. He’s planning their wedding.*
