Heart for Two

Emma was supposed to die in childhood. But ancient magic is strong: the woman who found a dying girl by the roadside managed to save her life, making the girl her dharma—her “dharma-daughter,” a daughter of the heart. Many years passed. Emma grew up, became a beauty whom suitors admire—but her heart was dry: if a girl falls in love, it stops forever.

Richard was raised to be a ruler. Strict, confident, calculating, flawless—and they say he has no soul, and everyone fears that his anger will spill onto their heads. Only the chosen know that the future king has a secret: in his chest beats a heart that belongs to someone else, and it can stop at any moment.
