Lucy Qaderi married her husband because she loved him. Not because he was cousin to the future ruler of Alakkul. Not because he was a wealthy man. But because Rafi Qaderi set her on fire like no one else. But he no longer believes any of that. So Lucy summons Rafi to his family's palace in Alakkul to tell him once and for all that she's leaving him…only to have a winter storm trap them together, testing Lucy's resolve and proving one thing is very much alive in their relationship—their passion for each other. That passion brought them together once. But after all the pain and guilt and accusations, is it enough to keep them together?
Author
Caitlin Crews discovered her first romance novel at the age of twelve, in a bargain bin at the local five and dime. It involved swashbuckling pirates, grand adventures, a heroine with rustling skirts and a mind of her own, and a seriously mouthwatering and masterful hero. The book (the title of which remains lost in the mists of time) made a serious impression. Caitlin was immediately smitten with romances and romance heroes, to the detriment of her middle school social life. And so began her life-long love affair with romance novels, many of which she insists on keeping near her at all times, thus creating a fire hazard of love wherever she lives. Caitlin has made her home in places as far-flung as York, England and Atlanta, Georgia. She was raised near New York City, and fell in love with London on her first visit when she was a teenager. She has backpacked in Zimbabwe, been on safari in Botswana, and visited tiny villages in Namibia. She has, while visiting the place in question, declared her intention to live in Prague, Dublin, Paris, Athens, Nice, the Greek Islands, Rome, Venice, and/or any of the Hawaiian islands. Writing about exotic places seems like the next best thing to actually moving there. She currently lives in Oregon with her animator/comic book artist husband and their menagerie of ridiculous animals.
