When Alexis Stanhope finds herself captive in a world not her own, filled with wonders both savage and beautiful, she knows she must find a way to escape, to return to her own world and her own people, to avenge her father's murder. And yet, from the moment she first meets the Guardian, she finds it impossible to resist the temptation to yield to him; heart, body and soul. In yielding, can she conquer the heart of the mightiest warrior the world has ever seen? Or will she lose her heart, only to learn that even love can not bridge the gap for two beings from such different worlds?
