A Ruler who will stop at nothing to save her people.
After bringing her country, Tenoreth, back from the brink of ruin, Chief Lady Zenobia must journey to their neighbouring Vayreland to broker a peace treaty. And she has little left to barter with--except herself.

A Warrior loyal to no one but his king.
After enduring a lifetime of condemnation for his parentage, High Commander Andrew cares for little else besides protecting his best friend, the king. He's taken a vow of celibacy to better execute his duties and the solitude has never bothered him... until now.

A dangerous affair...
When Andrew is tasked with Zenobia’s safety, assassins, sacred religious practices, and impending civil war force them into each other’s arms. Will his devotion to his code of ethics and her determination to save her people be enough for them to deny an attraction that would have disastrous and possibly fatal consequences?

"Steamy love scenes, undeniable chemistry, deep characters and rich world-building."

"The characters were wonderfully developed easy to get lost in."

"I can't emphasize enough how well written the characters are. You would think that the strong and stubborn female lead would be the favourite, but even the side characters are too relatable and realistic not to love!"
