A Vixens Dance With Ice

Cera Delaray has spent her entire life pretending to be something she's not.

As a werefox living deep within werewolf territory, blending in isn't just important-it's survival. Fortunately, Cera has more pressing concerns than secrets. Between training, managing pack affairs, and keeping her troublesome younger sister out of trouble, she has little time to think about marriage.

Then a royal decree arrives.

The king requires a bride.

As the eldest daughter of the Frost Fang Pack, Cera is chosen to travel to the capital and compete in the Crown Princess Candidacy-a fate she wants absolutely nothing to do with.

Unfortunately, refusal isn't an option.

The capital is everything she expected: exhausting nobles, endless etiquette, and political games she has no interest in playing.

What she doesn't expect is Xaiden.

Cold, distant, and infuriatingly difficult to read, the mysterious young man seems determined to keep everyone at arm's length. Yet beneath the ice lies a loneliness Cera can't ignore.

Against all reason, she finds herself falling for him.

There's only one problem.

The kingdom believes its king is an aging ruler hidden away behind palace walls.

The truth is far more dangerous.

Because the man stealing Cera's heart isn't a servant.

Or a noble.

Or even a prince.

He's the king himself.

And both of them are hiding secrets capable of destroying everything they've come to love.

In a court built on lies, one reckless vixen may be the only person capable of melting a frozen heart.
