Princess Sylvia of Oakhaven has watched her kingdom fall to the iron-fisted Felix Taylor. Now, she is no longer a ruler, but the ultimate prize of war. Taken to the mist-shrouded North, she is bound by the right of conquest to a man who demands more than just her land. Felix Taylor wants an heir to secure his new empire, and he has chosen the defiant princess to carry his legacy. Amidst the cold stone and rough furs of the Rhuddlan fortress, Sylvia must navigate a world of primal dominance and unyielding wills. As the tension between them reaches a breaking point, she discovers that the barbarian king’s touch ignites a fire her royal upbringing never prepared her for.

In a game of power and passion, Sylvia must decide if she will fight her captor or surrender to the raw heat of his command.
