Baelan by E.A. James

Baelan Covendane wishes he could forget the past…
Between his disastrous marriage that nearly led to the ruin of Zheka and his overbearing mother, Baelan is sure that he’ll never find happiness…or anything like it. When he signs up to join the new Zhekan navy, it is as much a punishment for himself as it is his one chance to make things right again.
But unfortunately for Baelan, he learns all too quickly that he’s bitten off more than he can chew.
Rillie Caulmont, a Nasenian peasant girl, has a talent that can stop grown men in their tracks. Born to a siren and a peasant man, her voice is the most beautiful music that anyone could imagine.
But Rillie never expected her voice to be used for evil…or for profitable gain. Just as she never expected to live anything other than an ordinary life, she soon discovers that her naïveté is greater than she knows.
When Baelan and Rillie meet, their passion is undeniable. Their chemistry is intense, and Rillie learns that she’s never met a man like Baelan before.
Likewise, Baelan has never met a girl like Rillie…and he soon discovers that he’ll do anything to be with her, even if it means committing treachery against his kingdom for the second time in his young life.
Will the two find happiness? Or like a stone in the sea, will their love drown and sink below the crushing fury of the waves?
