Every princess should be kissed. And by a man who knows what he's doing. Beatricia had been enjoying just that with Farris Turner when she was caught.

But running only drives her into the arms of a stranger. A man who wants to offer her one night together, to offer her the experience her life and duties in the city of Sun-Airor—a place set out of space and time—have denied her.

It'll be her only chance before she's forced to enter a loveless marriage . . . but who exactly is her stranger? And what will kissing him reveal?

Contains mature themes.
