I've gambled everything on keeping control. But when a fiery human female crosses my path, I know I've met my match. Niam is a prisoner of the temple, her body used and abused, but her spirit is unbreakable. I've never wanted anything as much as I crave to possess her, body and soul. I tell myself I'm only helping her to serve my own ends. But I'm beginning to wonder... who is the true prisoner in our dangerous game? Don't miss the conclusion of the Valti Fated Mates!
