Every kingdom has its monsters.
The Ashford heir was never supposed to meet one.
Wyatt Ashford, the beloved son of the Marquis, is the very picture of a perfect gentleman-graceful, kind-hearted, and admired wherever he goes. Whether comforting frightened children or helping strangers without expecting anything in return, his greatest strength has always been his compassion.
Then, on a journey through the mountains, everything changes.
His escort is ambushed.
His guards are defeated.
And he is kidnapped by the continent's most notorious outlaw.
The Mountain Wolf.
A man whispered about in taverns and royal courts alike. A rogue with sun-kissed skin, emerald eyes, a battered cowboy hat, and a smile far too charming for someone so dangerous.
The problem?
Instead of demanding a ransom...
He decides he wants Wyatt instead.
"I'm marrying him."
While Wyatt struggles to escape, San does everything except act like a proper kidnapper. He brings flowers, remembers Wyatt's favorite tea, opens every door for him, insists on calling him "my wife," and somehow turns an outlaw camp into the most confusing place Wyatt has ever seen.
But legends are never as simple as they seem.
The deeper Wyatt is drawn into San's world, the more he realizes that behind the laughter, the shameless flirting, and the infuriating devotion lies a man carrying secrets capable of shaking kingdoms.
As old prejudices, dangerous ambitions, and unseen enemies begin to close in, Wyatt must decide whether the world's most feared outlaw is truly the villain everyone believes him to be...
...or the only man willing to protect everything Wyatt holds dear.
A story of impossible devotion, slow-burn romance, found family, political intrigue, and the gentle noble who accidentally stole the heart of the most dangerous man on the continent.
