His magic calls me, his heat enthralls me and my mind melts at the touch of his inhumanely hot hands on my skin.There is no way I can marry him.I know what he truly wants: access to my family’s power.But I have no magic, no power of my own.He thinks he knows what he’s getting with me.I don’t play those games.It’s better to run from a monster, than to marry one.I’m no dragon’s treasure.Even if my heart wishes otherwise.

Emme travels to England, determined to uncover his history and conquer the strong connection she feels.In 1812, James Knight has given up finding the right woman. All he wants is someone to share his love of adventure. Instead, his life has become a Shakespearean drama. His brother languishes in a tragic star-crossed romance. His beloved sister clings to life, slowly dying of consumption. But then he finds a beautiful mystery woman, dripping wet and half-dead, beneath a tree on his estate. Now if he can uncover her history, perhaps adventure—and romance—will find him at last.
