The Chronicles of Arandal

Marrying her father's barbaric enemy for political gain is not the future that Princess Devon imagines for herself. She prefers escaping into the world of magic and legend described in books - books that suggest just how a princess could take the safety of a kingdom into her own hands.

Desperate to escape an arranged marriage to an evil magician, Rowan flees her village - and runs right into the path of a handsome stranger. When Grant comes to her aid, she takes comfort in his arms...and sees a solution to her problem. Her betrothal will be called off if she loses her virginity - and her virile protector is the perfect man to do the honor. Determined to seduce him, Rowan traps them together in a cave, where she and Grant soon give in to their undeniable desires.

Willow was left behind when her sister Rowan fled Valleyhold and became Queen of Arandal. Now she's receiving broken telepathic messages from the new queen, begging for help. She'll do anything to reach her. Dragon shifter Cullendor sees opportunity in Willow's desperation. He needs someone to show him how humans behave so he can steal the throne of Arandal from Rowan's husband. After he saves Willow's life, he thinks she's just the woman to teach him. But when he seduces her, he's not expecting her to teach him how to love.
