Readers' Crown Finalist! A brash, kick-ass heroine with a hidden vulnerability and an arrogant king forced to be a slave...
Riley St. Claire has always followed her own rules. When she discovers her employer's secret, she has to leave town in a hurry or end up buried with the dead guy she found, but when Riley is picked up by a passing trader from another world, she ends up a little farther away than she intended.
After the King of Sarafin, Vox d'Rojah, was captured and sold to a mining operation, the last thing he expected to find was his bride mate. Vox isn't sure which would be easier: another war with the Valdier or holding on to the human who will be his Queen. Fighting pirates, traders - and Riley - this will be one heck of an escape!
