Part of the Kingdom series.

Tall and lean, with a body as powerful as a god's, the new King of Greater Thrall is intimidating and dangerous. Dye is a man of principle, determined to honor his obligations despite temptation. He's a man with a will of steel, but for the one weakness he cannot resist—the daring young captain in his army who possesses both an intoxicating beauty and a bold, defiant spirit.

Dye struggles to fight his desire for Martigay—determined to avoid war by honoring his betrothal contract to a Vandal princess. But the ambitious captain isn't one to let an arrogant princess stand in her way. She intends to make her mark in Dye's army, and leave her mark upon the king.

Together, they fight their own war upon a battlefield of unquenchable lust, only to learn that passion and hunger born from the heart cannot be denied. When Dye finally gives rein to his passion, he takes Martigay with the fire of male savagery and an unbending hand, leaving her breathless. And leaving them both wanting it forever.
