Part of Shadow Riders, book 7
First published 2022
Elie Archambault carries the reputation that defines him among the Shadow Riders. People call him domineering, brash, and loyal, but speed remains his greatest trait. That speed leads him to sign a marriage contract with a woman he has never encountered. He possesses only her signed agreement and a detailed list of her expectations for their arrangement. Elie expects no love story or fairy tale ending from this union. He wants a partner who understands the terms she accepted. His honor will keep him faithful, but his heart will remain locked away. The privileged Archambault family member knows his identity well. He excels as both rider and fighter, a man who has always found life easy for the wrong reasons. Past mistakes cost him his chance at genuine passion with his true other half. His own careless arrogance destroyed that possibility. Now Elie focuses solely on fulfilling his Shadow Rider duties while burying his past. He believes his calculated choice will allow him to move forward safely. But this decision will ignite a fire that destroys every careful plan he has constructed.
