"So wet for me already," he murmurs. "Even though you hate me." "I do hate you," I gasp as his finger circles that sensitive bundle of nerves. "I hate you so much." "Good." His teeth scrape over my n****e. "Because I hate you too." *** Princess Seraphina was meant to marry the Ice King to end a devastating war between the werewolf kingdoms. Instead, she fled—a decision that would cost thousands of lives and land her in the hands of the very man she was supposed to wed. Kieran, the Ice King, is everything the stories claim: cold, ruthless, and unforgiving. When he discovers Seraphina is his true mate, he claims her in one night of passion—only to reject her come dawn. To him, duty will always triumph over destiny, and she is nothing more than the woman whose betrayal reignited a war. Five years later, fate forces them together again, and Kieran discovers that some consequences can't be escaped. Seraphina carries a secret that could unite the kingdoms or destroy them entirely.
