Alana Farmer flees Napoleon's army with her guardian and builds a new life in London. She receives an aristocratic education and prepares for her social debut. Then her guardian reveals a shocking secret about her origins. She might be the missing princess of the European kingdom of Lubinia. Her guardian convinces her to return to their homeland to prevent a bloody revolution. Alana arrives in a mountainous country where medieval customs still rule. Palace guard captain Christoph Becker captures her, suspecting she is either a clever fraud or a seductive spy working for conspirators plotting to overthrow the king. Christoph knows the game of seduction well and uses every method available to extract the truth from his captivating prisoner. He risks his own life to protect her from others with hostile intentions. Wild passion ignites between Alana and the man who has mistakenly imprisoned her.
