In this sci-fi romantasy from the New York Times–bestselling author, a military man with the scorching power of fire takes a princess under his blazing protection.
Rush "Ender" Blakely is an essential member of the Interplanetary Militia, and it is his honor to be part of the mission to save Princess Ambrea Vas Allay from her imprisonment. But once he lays his eyes-and his hands-on the beautiful, captive heir to the throne of Allay, he is consumed by his searing passion for her. Now he is in danger of revealing his secret: the tough, tattooed Tarian has the power of fire within him, an extraordinary gift that makes him too hot to handle.
As rightful heir to the throne of Allay, Ambrea is grateful to her mysterious rescuer-and drawn to him like she has never been to any other. But as she steels herself to take back the reign of her country, does she trust this fiery stranger with the fate of her empire-and with her heart?
