A Scorching Romance between two unlikely characters thrown together by fate...
Olwen was the only daughter of Ignar Cygnus, a world-famous maker of enchanted swords, and she lived a life of privilege and happiness until she was married off to a jealous and mediocre man with a gambling problem. Her life took a sudden turn for the worst when she was informed she had been bartered away to pay off his debts.
In a world where women were property, she had no rights when the dark stranger on her doorstep informed her she was leaving with him as HIS wife. But she had a secret, a secret that would give her leverage to secure her freedom. Olwen's new husband needed a swordmaker like her father, and she is the only one that could provide him with that.
Olwen is relying on her practicality and skill to find her way to a life of independence, so why does she feel so insecure and awkward around her confident new husband? Will she be able to leave him when she is finally released? Or will the whole new world he opens up to her entice her to stay? There is more than one secret he's keeping, and some of them just might destroy her.
