Dree can make her own decisions. Marc Torin has never met a woman like Dree. A strong leader, he rules his land with a fair hand but knows how to give orders. But there is something about Dree that brings him to his knees. The desire to conquer her, to learn her secrets, make her part of him, invades his senses and fills his thoughts. But there is a separate battle to be fought for each of them. They find there is a price to freedom, and sometimes, an advantage in letting it go. At the end of the day, Marc and Dree learn that becoming one is what truly makes both of them free.
