***Note*** This book was previously published under one of my pen names Rosalie Thornton. The content has not changed.

Princess Sofie Von Werdenfels has to marry a man she doesn’t know so her father can have more men to fight in a war against the Lion. The Lion is feared by his neighbors. He is said to be a cruel man who attacked Werdenfels to wrongfully gain their lands, which contains the best and safest passage over the Alps needed by traders and people traveling alike, making it a rich country. It also has a silver mine that makes the small country very rich and desirable to possess. But Werdenfels has one thing that outshines everything else it possesses: The Princess Sofie. She is a beauty second to none. When the Lion comes to ask for her hand after hearing about her beauty, her father the Prince Von Werdenfels turns him down. Soon, the Lion Prince attacks his villages. The Prince Von Werdenfels turns to his neighbors. Sofie is to marry their neighbor from the south who will help them take the lands to the north and stop the war. She knows nothing of the evil plans at play.

Lukas Von Burkhart of the Lion’s Paw feels he made a fool out of himself when he asked for Princess’s Sofie’s hand. He doesn’t understand how he insulted the Werdenfels family. But since he asked for her hand, they have been attacking his lands. When he gets news that the Princess has wed, he puzzles the pieces together. Prince Lukas wants revenge for the insult done to his people and to him personally. He calls allies to help him win the war quickly. When he does, he’ll get his revenge on everyone in the Werdenfels family, even the Princess Sofie. But when he finally has her in his hold, he can’t kill her. Instead, he plans to submit her to a hell much worse than death, namely marriage. But as time goes on he grows more and more fond of his captive bride. Sofie hates how he makes her feel and how she reacts to him in bed, enjoying not only his body but also his punishments. This steamy historical love story includes elements of power exchange and elements of BDSM.
