Bound by duty, Princess Kadeesha must become the Hyperion High King's bride. But first, one last night of freedom with an intoxicating stranger. Unfortunately, Malachi is no stranger, and when his assassination attempt at her wedding fails, he kidnaps her. Done being a pawn, Kadeesha strikes a deal: play his lover to lure the King to his death and save her people. Her hatred for him burns bright, but her attraction burns brighter.
