The Slave in Gold

Ira is the slave, who had never wanted to serve another man again.
Rhoden is the prince, who never wanted to be tied to a woman.
Rhoden's father, the king, is sick of all the pesky Queens trying to get promises for their daughters. However, he doesn't want to force his son into an unhappy marriage. So Ira, a pretty girl accused of a criminal act, is his solution. Take her out of the dungeons, dress her up at the parties and call her a wife. A pretty thing like that couldn't really be dangerous.
And thus fire meets ice, palace meets street, male meets female. The only thing they share in common is the hate for their situtation, and of course, eachother.
But the longer the two spend together, the more Rhoden begins to think that her calm and emotionless personality is just an act. There's something she's hiding. Something big....
