Prince of Thieves — Saranne Dawson

One man held the lifeblood of the country in his grasp: a man, who, despite his ragged attire, intrigued Maryana like no other.

But when Maryana looked into Roderic's blazing eyes, she saw his passion for life, for his people, and for her. Deep in the forest, he took her to the peak of ecstasy and joined their souls with a desire sanctioned by love...Torn between her heritage and a love that knew no bounds, Maryana would gladly renounce her people if only she could remain forever in the strong arms of her...Prince of Thieves.
