Warrior princess Jura gives herself to a stranger in a kiss so sudden that neither of them speaks a name.
Only later does she learn that the knight from that secret meeting is Prince Rowan, the rival newly returned from England to seize her brother's throne.
Destined for a crown, Rowan means to bring the wild clans under his rule.
Jura answers with open enmity, even as the golden-haired prince she hates still burns through her days and nights.
Nothing in his path will turn him from the warring tribes, or from the fierce princess he is determined to claim as bride, queen, and love.
