About the book: year / “Defending the kingdom is just child's play compared to protecting hearts." His month's duty as protector was coming to an end, and the Lord of Winnston was looking forward to a well-deserved vacation away from the royal castle. However, a strange premonition forces him to stay. He realizes the true reason only when Zephara from the Pastel race arrives at the palace. The stunning silver eyes of the woman conquer his heart, she is the one whom his body and soul long for. But among other things, Zephara is a powerful sorceress who will have to pass the test of the League of Twenty. Winnston has never been afraid of the opportunity to court a strong woman, but getting and keeping a girl will not be easy. At the same time, Lord Kephas goes in search of the missing princess Theodora. But before returning the frightened and capricious beauty to her father, Kefas will have to win her trust... and her heart. The physical strength of Kefas and Winnston is not the best assistant in this battle. And two women find strength and courage - combined with tenderness - so that powerful men fall to their knees before them. Attention: If you want to see terrible stone creatures here, you can pass by - you will not find them here. If you like sexy, protective males who are not intimidated by strong and assertive women, sit back and turn the page.
