Elara is a political hostage, bound by a magical tether to the ruthless Shadow Lord, Kaelen. She thinks her mind is the one place she has left to herself, a sanctuary for her defiance and forbidden desires. But she's wrong. Every defiant fantasy, every imagined touch, every whispered desire for the man she should hate, echoes directly into his mind. Kaelen, the tyrant who conquered her kingdom, is used to controlling everything. But he can't control the vivid, X-rated daydreams of the woman who is his captive... and his undoing. For how long can a man of iron will endure the silken torture of her thoughts before he finally breaks?
