Shamed
She’s the treasure I vowed to protect — even from me.

At my clan, in a world ravaged by a chemical accident, women are scarce. While every clansman dreams of claiming a wife, I know none of them would want me. I’m a bastard. A man with no past. No family.

Until the Districts, the last government-controlled area, sends one of their precious females to teach at our school for one year. Assigned as her guard, Ayanna stirs something inside me better ignored.

I have never touched a woman before, and the chieftain’s law is clear: doing so means exile to the ash-covered lands in the west and certain death. But what if she touches me first, roused by desires she shouldn’t have?

Also known as "The Bastard".
