There’s no escaping the fae warden.After losing my parents and siblings, I only want to grieve in peace and try to rebuild my life. But with creditors breathing down my neck, I fear I’ll find myself homeless during winter in a city occupied by brutal fae soldiers.Just when I think things couldn’t get any worse, Lord Kaiden, the new Warden of Trevos, takes a particular interest in me. The handsome fae male won’t stay away, and I can’t deny the strange, overpowering warmth that fills me whenever our eyes meet. But is he glamouring me? Or is the warmth… real?Maybe that kiss we shared after he saved me from angry creditors was a bad idea. Fae males are notoriously possessive of their mates and concubines, and despite my attraction to the mysterious Lord Kaiden, I have no wish to become his property. Problem is, the tender moments we keep sharing are starting to win me over, and I fear I might lose my heart to the horned, white-winged fae.Maybe I should run. Maybe I should flee the kingdom before it’s too late. Surely it’s not possible to find happiness with the otherworldly male who helped conquer my people… or is it?
