With the King of Winter's vile threats hanging over me, I have two choices: Marry Prince Vale or run and, most likely, die. Then again, perhaps I'll die anyway when the King of Winter learns I killed a vampire prince . . . I might even want to die if I've started a war between the fae and the vampires, but I can't just turn away from the trouble I've created. Nor take away the honorable prince's dream to find his fated mate. So I accept Vale's protection under one condition. We form a marriage of convenience. Once the turmoil I've created calms, the prince assures me that we'll find a way for me to flee without recourse. I'll finally get to be free. But there are a few things that I didn't count on . . . Like how Vale grows on me, and how the desire between us blossoms. Or how the rising rebellion that makes things more difficult. Most of all, I didn't count on discovering so many buried secrets. One in particular that strikes me straight in the heart: that the frigid halls of Frostveil Castle is where I've been meant to be all along.
