SIGNED: Ariella's Keeper (Portal Healers #1) Paperback
Paperback. Portal Romance. Book One in the Portal Healers series. Sci-Fi, Alternate Universe Romance.
Dr. Sebastjan Walter is done letting his father run his life. The Medical Supreme controls everything on Dimensional Plane 187: research, politics, power, and now his son's marriage. Sebastjan expected to resent the arrangement. He didn't expect Ariella, or what it would feel like to want to protect someone from the man who raised him.
Ariella came to this dimension through a portal she didn't open and has been the Medical Supreme's captive ever since, kept alive by an antidote only he controls, punished when she disobeys, displayed when it suits him. She has no power here. No choices. The Supreme has decided she'll marry his son, and for the first time since she arrived, she doesn't know what to hope for.
Sebastjan looks at her differently than his father does. Not like a possession. Not like a strategy. And the slow unraveling of everything she learned to protect herself with begins the moment he puts himself between her and his father's plans.
Both of them are being used. Finding what belongs only to them is the most dangerous thing either has ever tried.
She'd survived this world by wanting nothing. He's wrecking that entirely.
