Lady Sylvia Anderson was the crown jewel of the Montague court, until the palace gates shivered under the might of a conqueror. Lord Dorian Rodriguez didn't just want the crown; he wanted the woman promised to another. Now, Sylvia is a captive in the frozen North, stripped of her silks and forced to face the raw power of a man who claims her by right of conquest. In the cold stone of his keep, the fire between them burns with a dangerous intensity. He demands absolute submission, and he has a wicked design for her future - one that involves securing his legacy through her. Will Sylvia break under the weight of the warlord's gaze, or will she find a different kind of power in the arms of her captor?
