    About this ebook

    When Princess Amethyst of Zilpha arrives at the remote castle of her new guardian, the cold and arrogant King Lucien of Amadea, her life will never be the same again. Lucien carries his own agenda, his own past pain and torment and wants no part of caring for Amethyst. But when the princess falls for travelling actor Marcus, tightly reined in passions boil dangerously to the surface, shattering all she once held as true.
