She bound him in chains ... he repaid her in kind ... now she is bound to him, in more ways than one.Caden Maignart must choose a wife and sire a son-a burden weighing heavily upon him as the firstborn son of a high lord. Weighing even more heavily is the notion of impending war, which has become a near certainty thanks to the volatile feud brewing between two families entrenched in hate. Caden knows that the key to mending things between their families lies in Lady Gwendolyn Toustain, the daughter of his family's mortal enemies, but earning her trust will prove to be an uphill battle.Gwen trusted Caden to help her convince his father that she was not the one who broke the peace between their two houses ... a mistake that led to her becoming his prisoner. All hope is lost when it comes to forging peace between their houses; unless she relents and agrees to marry her captor. While passion and desire led her into Caden's trap, Gwen is not certain she can bring herself to become his prisoner for life-in the bonds of holy matrimony.Yet, the kingdom of Alemere is at stake, as are the lives of people they both love. Caden and Gwen will be forced to forge a path toward peace-not only within the realm, but within their complicated and volatile bond.When the line becomes blurred between captor and captive, who will be the first to bend?
