I was ordered to marry her, but soon she is all I can think about. DAMARIS: Married by proxy to Warlord Vandor to ensure the safety of my father's kingdom, I'm kidnapped before I even meet my groom. But when he rides to my rescue, he is more than I could have ever dreamed of in a man, and I can hardly believe my good luck. But I should have known that there is always a price to pay for happiness. VANDOR: I never thought to find a worthy mate within the barely tolerated human species on our planet, but when I lay eyes on Damaris, my world changes. She is not only beautiful but also witty and resourceful and soon I can't imagine a life without her. Our planet is at war though and evil forces try to drive us apart.
