Desperate to save his people from foreign occupation, Prince Renato Aratorre has resorted to kidnapping in an effort to leverage their freedom. But when he ends up not with a princess, but the handsome son of his enemy's military leader, Ren is determined to discover what secrets the so-called Lord Mathias Grachyov is hiding. And he needs to do it quickly, before the plotting of his family, his court, and his enemies undoes everything he's trying to achieve.

Alone in a foreign country and held hostage by a man by whose hand he is fated to die, Mat faces danger on all sides. Not least of which is Ren himself, for he's inexplicably drawn to the charismatic prince despite the sinful nature of such desires.

The two men were born enemies by virtue of the continent's politics. But with their forced proximity giving them insights into the other's culture, can they bridge that divide? Or will centuries of bloodshed keep them on opposite sides?
