The prince can rot in his white castle for all she cares. If no one is coming to save her people, then she will.
Highcrest Castle looms over the poor village of South Harbor, flaunting it’s wealth while citizens are starving in the streets and going missing.
After Nora’s father passed away, her step-mother and step-sisters have hit hard times, selling what they can to get by. The deed to their home fell into the hands of a shady bar owner who holds it over their heads. Now, Nora works for free to save her family from living on the streets.
Having essentially everything taken from her, Nora chooses to fight back by investigating the disappearance’s at night on her own. She stalks the shadows to hunt down whoever is stealing innocent citizens, when one night she comes across a mysterious stranger. An opportunity to use her training kicks in, and she holds her own against the skilled fighter—but leaves one of her daggers behind.
Nicholas has taken matters into his own hands. In order to put an end to the kidnappings in his kingdom, he can no longer rely on simply ruling from his throne. One night, he comes across a mysterious woman who admittedly kicks his ass—and damn if he didn’t find it attractive.
But duties of the crown continue to call, and in the midst of searching for the kidnappers, his councilor is arranging the search for the next Queen. That’s the last thing he needs right now, especially while he’s focused on saving his kingdom, and finding that feminine fatale to make her his ally.
