A trip to buy baking supplies shouldn’t have ended with kidnapping.
Now Elia is one of only two witnesses in the disappearance of her friend, and Cass, the surly woodsman who aided her escape, has only one goal: to get her home safely and wash his hands of the whole ordeal.
Elia knows they can rescue her friend, if she can only convince Cass to help—and no matter how prickly he may be, he can’t resist her sunshiny ways. But when her plea for the crown’s assistance results in her rescuer crossing blades with the king, it becomes clear Cass is more than a mere woodsman.
To spare his life, a deal is made, and Elia’s new job is simple: Follow Cass, discover his secrets… and avoid falling in love in the process.
