Sapphire refuses to put herself in anyone's control again, but she's been led to proud, arrogant Wulfric, Crown Prince of the rival kingdom. Sapphire is a prized warrior and highly skilled in the sensual arts-Wulfric's perfect match. A lasting union is unthinkable, but the bargain they strike-to spend one night together, and then part-proves impossible in the face of a desire powerful enough to bring two countries to the brink of war, and two hearts to the point of surrender.
