Par Wendy Higgins. 2017
Lochlanach has traded the great beast that once terrorized the realm for something far more dangerous, a Lashed enemy veiled…
in beauty, deception, and a vengeance passed down through generations: Rozaria Rocato. And she's offering the hunter Paxton Seabolt power and acceptance he could never receive in his homeland. Pax must decide how far he's willing to go under her tutelage, knowing she is the opponent of his true love Princess Aerity. Aerity believes that without allowing the Lashed to return to the kingdom, revolt is inevitable. And though she's accepted a betrothal to the man who took down the beast, she cannot help thinking about the Lashed man who stole her heart and disappeared. But as dire circumstances strike the royal family, matters of the castle are left in Aerity's hands. And though her feelings for Pax are strong, her duty to her kingdom and her family is stronger.
