John Black’s throne has been stolen from beneath him. Injured in the middle of a coup, he finds himself in a foreign field unable to travel to safety. Then he is rescued by the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his long life – the daughter of his enemy. Olivia Theroux was never meant to meet him. If her father had his way, she would have been married off long ago - sold like chattel to a nobleman for the right price. But she refuses to let him dictate the course of her life – even if she has to live alone. In the midst of a coming war, these two wandering souls find love in the least likely of places - in the heart of an enemy.
