A desire rises in him that is forbidden-this woman is his queen, the mate of his king, his leader, his best friend. He is overwhelmed by a searing connection that goes deep into the twin souls inside him. But as this golden warrior sweeps in to protect her, he feels something more than body heat every time they touch. When Ram finds Docia, he has no doubt that she is his queen. That is, as long as Docia’s savior doesn’t turn out to be a crazed kidnapper. Then, when a tall, blond, muscular stranger intervenes on her behalf, telling her it is his duty to protect her at all cost, what is just a feeling turns to proof positive. On her way to work, secretary Docia Waverley hurtles into a crashing crossroads, and she quickly begins to suspect that things will never be the same.
