When Ceres is bought and bound in a mating mask, she is at the mercy of her buyer...

When Ceres Avedis ran away from an arranged mating, she thought she was teaching her father a lesson. After six heats and a year on the run she has decided to return to the home and customs she knows. The bounty hunter that captures her and takes her to be sold in the Grand Arena did not figure in her plans. When she is bought and bound in a mating mask she is at the mercy of her buyer, and her body. His touch sears her and inflames her heat into an inferno that threatens to drive her insane before it is satisfied. Can Raanan tame her, sooth her, and convince her to accept a position as a lady of his family? Or will her heat be the only joining force between them?
