“You may have stolen my heart, but I’ll take your head.”

In the scorching heart of the desert, Theron was taken captive by the woman he’d professed to love. He’d been a fool; unable to see her deception until it was too late, blinded by her beauty and ferocity. Now he’s trapped in an enemy encampment—chained, battered, and tormented—as his captors try to force him to reveal Adraedor’s weaknesses. But one thought gives him strength.

What he’ll do to Kael when he breaks out…

Kael is left reeling after her ordeal, torn between loyalty to her people and the overwhelming draw to her sworn enemy. Confused by her conflicted feelings and the intensity of their connection, she can’t stay away. Especially when he holds the key to her newly discovered magic, and all it entails.

Until he escapes.

Caught in a dangerous game of cat and mouse, they ignite a smoldering desire that cannot be denied. The lines blur between captor and captive as their bodies yearn for each other’s touch, even as their minds remain entangled in a battle of wills.

Will Theron and Kael succumb to the flames of their desires, or will the consequences of their forbidden love consume them?
