Submission on the Run — Silvia Violet

Series: Surrender; Previous Book: Surrender in the Dark
Genre: Futuristic, Paranormal

After her mother's death, Princess Alcina of Boetia took over the job of raising her younger brother, a boy who will one day be king. Her father's increasing depression over the loss of his wife has forced her to shoulder much of the burden of running a planet where most men don't recognize a woman's right to rule herself, much less a government. Alcina is close to snapping from exhaustion, but she refuses to trust anyone with her responsibilities.

Ivan is a Lalatian dominant sent to make contact with the Boetians and convince them of the importance of forging alliances between the universe's older races. He is immediately drawn to the fiery, independent Princess Alcina. He soon realizes that under her bravado she hides a need to give up her hard won control. He wants nothing more than to teach her the beauty of submission.

An ancient Lalatian prophecy foretells the intermarrying of the ancient races. The more Ivan interacts with Alcina, the more convinced he becomes that she is his intended mate. Alcina admits to her lust for Ivan, but she fears what will happen if she submits to the domination she craves. Can she let go enough for the love that is growing between them take root, or will the political tension on Boetia and the fear in her soul force them apart?
