Falling in love with one of them was the ultimate punishment he never expected. Back home, Sascha was a preschool teacher who could corral thirty toddlers without breaking a sweat. She prided herself on being calm and cool under pressure—something she’d lived with her entire life. Escaping the prison of her controlling and unforgiving family, she refused to let anyone tell her what to do or how to think. Especially not the infuriatingly hot alien prince that declared his heart came with chains of expectation that would ensnare them both. N’ameth was playing a deadly game. Helping one brother take the throne made them a target for the traitors still loyal to their evil sire and possibly had already guaranteed the death of another. Taking a mate wasn’t just a luxury he didn’t deserve, he’d be putting Sascha’s life in danger and no matter how stubborn the beautiful human was, she was no match for the enemies that wanted them dead. Maintaining his distance was supposed to keep her safe, but when Sascha goes missing, N’ameth discovers an even more deadly enemy hiding behind a friendly face. Will N’ameth have to make a choice between the woman he loves and the people who need him, or can he find a way to save them both? less
