The fate of a kingdom lies in one man's hands...
In one brutal night, Gavril Khalon lost everything-his throne, his magic, and his freedom. He may have escaped captivity, but any hope of reclaiming his kingdom was burned out of his soul, along with his heart. Now his only goal is survival. But when he's injured escaping the palace guards, he's rescued by a strong, protective woman whose touch stirs parts of himself he thought long dead, and she refuses to let him fade back into anonymity.
When the new king usurped the throne, Shyla used the chaos to escape his evil clutches. She's built a new life for herself with her own shop and avoids drawing any attention to herself, even if that makes her lonely. When a wounded stranger falls into her arms, she never expected to find the man-the
king-
-everyone thinks is dead. Even more shocking is the scorching attraction between them. Shyla knows she must help Gavril regain his magic and his throne, even if the stubborn man fights her the whole way. Because the new king has a plan to harness the power of the goddesses, which could destroy the entire realm, and Gavril's the only man strong enough to defeat him.
But just knowing Gavril is dangerous. As his enemies close in, Shyla discovers a strength she didn't know she had, and Gavril must choose between his kingdom and the woman he desires above all else.
A sweet and steamy tale with a wounded king, a strong, determined woman, and the magic of true love. Contains a very happy ending with no cliff hangers.
