Publisher's Synopsis
When duty and passion collide, they could lose everything...Malkyn of Keitera has built a new life in Earth's system after ecaping the bloody battle for her family's throne . But now her homeworld is under siege by a mysterious alien force, and the tall, muscular soldier with whom she shared an unforgettable night of forbidden passion has arrived to escort her home. Ty Holtwyre is a member of the royal guard, sworn to place his duties above everything else. Only once did he disobey the law: as a commoner, he never should have touched a princess. Even now, the memory of her curves and their night together is emblazoned in his mind--and his heart. Traveling together is a torment, as old feelings and new temptations are brought to the surface. Malkyn knows she and Ty can't afford to rekindle their affair: his life would be forfeit if anyone found out. But in the heat of battle, the usual rules don't apply. Can Ty and Malkyn forge something real as violence and deception rage all around them, or will the fires of war burn their bond to ashes?
