With her betrothal imminent, the beautiful Princess Ava has gone missing. Where has she fled to? Why has she gone? And why is the dragon stirring? Enter our hero. Gwen has been hunting wanted criminals for years, collecting bounties to provide for her mother and brother since the death of their father. The promise of an armful of gold for bringing the princess home is too good to ignore. But bringing her home doesn't solve anyone's problems. Gwen still has family to support, and Ava still has a miserable marriage to look forward to.

A shy poet, Imogen has always been bullied at her all-girl's private school, St. Nocturne.

If the Golden Girls knew her secret, however, Imogen's life would be ruined. They could never know that she madly, passionately loved one of them.
