A strong-willed princess finds fiery passion with a roguishly handsome warrior in the New York Timesโbestselling authorโs medieval romance.
ย
Crown Princess Thera of Mercia is fiercely independent and wholly devoted to her subjects. Yet she must marry before she can become Queen. The beautyโs reluctance to choose a husband has plunged her into peril far from homeโand into the arms of a handsome rescuer.
ย
Powerful, hot-blooded mercenary Saxxe Rouen has better things to do than fight a crowd of drunken brutes. After all, there is little profit in saving a demoiselle in distressโor is there? His valor should be repaid, if not in silver, then in another kind of reward: Lovely Thera will spend one night in his bed.
ย
Once safe, Thera faces yet another danger: her attraction to the charming warrior. But as a battle of wits ensues, one night may lead to three. And a proud princess may discover the pleasure of surrendering her heartโwhile Saxxe may find the kingdom, and the love, he was truly meant to winย .ย .ย .
