Brooke Valen has resigned herself to a life of adoring Samsyn Cimarron
from afar. The massive warrior has been her knight in shining armor
since her family was forced to seek refuge on the island of Arcadia to
avoid a terrorist's bounty. Devoted to earning Syn's respect, Brooke
fears he'll never see her as anything more than a scrawny teen with
stars in her eyes.
To Samsyn Cimarron, true love is a concept best left to storybooks. Syn
prefers to keep things simple with a string of one-night lovers as he
focuses on the security of his country. When Brooke is wounded helping
to defend the kingdom, all his careful mandates are shattered, as a
night of fleeting passion with her doesn't feel like enough.
Can he fight the new sensations that come with committing everything to
her? There's a dark side of his desire...and exposing it may turn Brooke
from him forever.
Despite sharing a bed with the man of her dreams, Brooke has never felt
more alone. Is the love in her soul strong enough to reach the beast in
Syn's? Or will Brooke have to prove her devotion further by confronting
Arcadia's arch enemy?
