Guarding the kingdom is child's play compared to guarding their hearts.
As his month-long guard duty comes to an end, Master Wynnston should be looking forward to well-deserved time away from the king's castle. Instead, he feels strangely reluctant to leave. When Zephara of the Pastelle race arrives, he realizes why.
The stunning, silver-eyed ambassador is the woman his heart, body, and soul have been waiting for. She's also a powerful wizard who will endure the test of the Twenty. Wynn has never been afraid to woo a strong woman, but winning and keeping Zephara's love will test him to the limit.
Meanwhile, pure chance has finally led Master Kephas to find the runaway Princess Theodora. But before he can return the frightened, skittish beauty to her father, he must win her trustβand her heart.
Physical strength will do Wynn and Kephas no good as they face their challenges. And two women will search deep within themselves for the strength, courageβand tendernessβto bring two powerful men to their knees.
Warning: If you're looking for ugly stone creatures, move alongβyou won't find them here. If you like hot, protective males who aren't intimidated by strong, assertive females, settle in and turn the page.
