Calling For Backup

In Aspect Society, magic is political power, secrets are as common as breath, and what you don’t know could easily get you killed… Everyone thinks they know exactly who Valkyrie Winters is: strong, deadly, and unapproachable—the most powerful Battle Aspect user in history. But they have no idea how hellish her childhood was, or that the nightmare is very far from over. Aside from her freedom, she's only ever wanted one thing: her brother's best friend, the handsome, infuriating Random Tremayne. A year ago she gave into temptation, thinking one night with the notorious playboy would get him out of her system. Instead, he's been determined to make her his ever since. Random has been in love with Valkyrie since approximately forever. But with the exception of one night together, she won’t give him the time of day. After a year spent chasing her—and having his feelings run through an emotional blender more times than he can count—he’s ready to throw in the towel. Then a chance encounter brings Valkyrie’s secrets tumbling into the light, and her actions finally start making sense. She needs his help, and he’s more than willing to give it. If he succeeds in helping her win her freedom, will they finally have a chance at happiness?
