Hanna MacKellen has landed in a heap of trouble. No longer married to her adulterous mate, she has moved on with her life and is finally enjoying some excitement she'd missed out on for years. After a date with a lykaen prince goes terribly wrong, Hanna finds herself in the hands of enemies. Worse, she's gotten Alex Thompson in the thick of it too. Alex Thompson is a man of mystery and dark secrets. He keeps his emotions locked away from any serious connection, because he knows no woman could ever accept him once she learned of his past. Especially not someone like the “princess” -- Hanna MacKellen. Educated, sophisticated and hard-working, Hanna is out of his league on many levels. Women like her simply did not mix with men like him. Stuck together in a life-threatening situation, there's only two options: escape or die. Together they wind up on the adventure of a lifetime. A journey which asks Alex to question his own past and in which Hanna discovers her own morality and strength. On top of it all, Hanna's heart is in jeopardy of falling in love with the wrong kind of man, and she doesn't know if she can stop it from happening. Or if she even wants to.
