You cannot escape the fate you're born into.
Viggo abandoned his birthright and fled the demands of his father to live a simple life. He wanted for nothing in his quiet sanctuary in the Winter Wilds. It was easy for a dragon shifter to live among wild things. Here he was king, and he didn't have to care what anyone thought of him.
Everything changed when
she
appeared out of the forest like a walking dream, half-frozen and offering herself up as a bride.
Eleanor was as unrefined as a woman could be, bold and outspoken and so very different than the women at court. But years of isolation had made Viggo selfish and stubborn.
When Eleanor is revealed to be much more than a common maid, Viggo is forced to choose. Will he keep his quiet life, eternally alone, or will he step back into his father's world and face his past?
