Diamond in the Rough — Ann Jacobs

Eli of Obsidion has three daughters with three specific requirements for their mates. In Diamond in the Rough we are introduced to the three women Emerald, Garnet, and Pearl. As the oldest, Emerald has demanded that she will accept no less than a prince for her mate. Newly returned Arik is the Crown Prince of Obsidion and the mate chosen for Emerald by The Matchmaker. Before returning to Obsidion, Arik was hunted down by mercenaries and left for dead. After healing on the primitive world of Eastphalia, Arik has returned from exile a scarred and bitter man. Will Emerald grow up and love Arik for himself? Can Arik let go of the past and embrace a future with Emerald?
