““I knew it! You’ve been dying to kiss me this whole time.””
A princess...
When war threatens the borders of her father's kingdom Daphne's life and happiness are exchanged for weapons and soldiers. To seal the deal, she will have to travel to meet her new husband and pray that love and respect can grow out of a marriage contract signed in blood.
A highwayman...
Time is running out for Finian as the Empire of the White Snake approaches. His men know what it's like to live in the hell that is a battlefield, and they'll do whatever it takes to avoid returning to one. The only way to keep ahead of the looming army is enough money to finance escape. Ransom is the perfect solution.
How much is one princess worth? How much is one man willing to change?
One kiss can change it all.
