Stolen from her parents at birth, Liana has been kept prisoner, meant only for an evil, powerful man, once she's of age. She has lived her life in fear of the time when he would finally whisk her away. Instead of waiting for that fateful day, she has carefully laid her plans to flee.

Aric has been watching the beautiful Liana. He has sworn to protect her from the evil that awaits her, but he can think of nothing but desiring her with a strength that is nearly overpowering. Even though Aric is to only protect Liana, he can't stay away from the lovely, sensual woman who lights his world on fire and draws her to him in ways no other woman ever has before.

But evil is nearly upon them, bent on taking Liana and killing Aric. Together, Aric and Liana must overcome a terrible destiny that could mean both their futures...and their lives.
