Who knew desire could be so dangerous…or addictive.

Stranded on the rough streets of Liverpool, Julie Sheridan falls into the arms of an unprincipled Brit with a history of violence. When she learns that a stalker seeks her life, those same arms are the only ones that can protect her.

Struggling with a host of inner demons, Julie's profane Prince Valiant isn't at all what he appears to be. The street-rough wants to escape his past and Julie is his ticket to freedom. All he has to do is sell her out. And he might do just that if he can find a way to ignore what appears to be a bad case of lust and a worse case of frayed heartstrings.

Bound by an intense attraction, threatened by a series of events beyond her control, Julie takes refuge in the dark shelter of her protector's embrace — only to find herself in the arms of danger.
