PALADIN'S CONQUEST

Princess Cynthia, who's captured by pirate captain Zaria Frost when her ship is raided in the North Sea. Rather than cower, she defies them and gets Zaria's attention in the process. Desperate to escape a loveless arranged marriage, Cynthia cuts a deal: she'll give up the secrets of a coded treasure map in exchange for something that'll ruin her royal prospects and set her free. One night. That's all it's supposed to be. But when Cynthia and Zaria are finally alone, the transaction becomes something neither of them saw coming a connection that changes everything.
