Prudence Lanne would rather die than marry the likes of Blood Clan leader Daniel Pare. It doesn't matter to her that he's one of the handsomest or sexiest men she has ever met, and she's not going to let a little thing like an ancient prophecy curtail her dreams of finding and falling in love with the right man. Besides he's everything she detests. He's arrogant; he's a womanizer and too wrapped up in himself to ever consider being a serious mate for her. Daniel Pare has always known that he was destined to marry Prudence Lanne even if he didn't love her. She is the most exasperating woman whom he has ever met. She argumentative, opinionated and has one heck of a fiery temper. Given the choice of keeping her by his side or losing her to his brother or his enemy Daniel decides Prudence is the lesser of the three evils. But after having her under his roof for a week could he just forget what they'd shared and let her just walk away?
