Life is about survival—not romance—but her Vahking Prince never got the memo.

While I'm searching for my missing brother, I find myself in a dark alley with the wrong people. Too bad the hero that saves me is no better. He thinks he can win me over with sweet words, but I show him that I'm a girl of action . . . by ditching his ass.

Unfortunately, fate isn't easy to ignore. The Vahking Prince Rune's blood sang for me, and now I'm in his sights.

My family and my past keep me away from others, but Rune makes me forget all the lessons I learned to protect myself. Dammit.

Now, I'm starting to see there is only one destiny for me—at his side.

Will Rune be the one man who can break into my stone heart . . . or will my past push him away, too?
