About this book
When Kallie sails into the court of a powerful king under false pretenses, she's convinced herself that this dangerous game—marriage to a man she's never met, lies wrapped around lies—is simply the price of getting what she wants. But Graeson is nothing like she expected, and as forced proximity turns into something dangerously real, Kallie finds herself torn between her ambitions and feelings she never saw coming. Meanwhile, Graeson is willing to move mountains to free the woman he loves from the grip of a dark force, and he's not about to let her slip away without a fight. Watching these two navigate impossible choices, hidden truths, and an attraction neither of them can deny will have you completely swept away.
