Wrath - Hodgson, H. M.

. .

Résumé :
Who said enemies can't come with benefits? Vella Knight, arcane artifact expert, never expected to be caught practicing banned magic-especially by Matthias Medea, the Witches' Council most ruthless spellcaster. Instead of turning her in, Matthias offers a chilling deal: spy on her coven or face the Council's wrath. The catch? Vella needs a lost relic that only Matthias can find-if that means blackmailing him right back, so be it. Forced into an uneasy alliance, their hunt drags them to the United Kingdom, plunging them into the shadowy world of arcane witchcraft hidden within historical landmarks and forgotten works of art, where every step brings them closer to betrayal-and each other. Their covens were enemies in a brutal war two decades ago, and old grudges run deep. Yet with every stolen glance and razor-sharp quip, the tension between them ignites into something deeper-something far more dangerous. But some temptations are too strong to resist. As danger closes in and the hunt turns deadly, Vella and Matthias are drawn to a forbidden passion that could doom them both. With time running out and enemies on all sides, they must decide what matters most: the relic, their survival, or a desire that could destroy them both....
