Publisher's Synopsis
The Prize
I was raised in a world filled with opulence, where anything is available at your fingertips for the right price. I was trapped in a gilded golden cage, a facade for the prison I live in. Reduced to being a possession sought out by the greed of wealthy men. A phoenix ready to rise from her ashes and confinement.
Tarnished, meek and broken...or so they thought.
The Victor
The spoils of war go to the victor, and I am at the top of this food chain.
Power, wealth, and control are mine for the taking. There was just one thing missing in my empire: a crown jewel needed to complete my reign. She was mine before she even knew it, a beautiful prize passed from the hands of one wealthy man to another. My new little ice queen will help further my legacy while she fights the bonds of her captivity.
Will we both end up shattering like shards of glass in the process of this war against each other or can we build the rise of our kingdom side by side?
