To secure a fragile peace treaty, Lady [Name] is bartered away to Skardis—a brutal northern realm of eternal winter, dark pine forests, and rugged warriors. With her striking golden hair and sky-blue eyes, she stands out like a mythical omen in a land dominated by dark features and harsh survival. Outwardly, she plays the role of the shy, submissive southern bride to keep the peace. But behind closed doors, she possesses a sharp, sassy wit that catches her new husband, the brooding and powerful Lord Ben Vintergard, completely off guard. As political plots threaten to destroy the treaty, this isolated princess and stoic warlord must find a fierce alliance—and an undeniable heat—in the heart of the ice.
