To escape his mother's relentless matchmaking, fire Dragon Prince Asante makes a desperate choice-he plucks a hard-headed baker from a small village and declares her his fiancée. It's a harmless ruse, meant only to buy him time. After all, what threat could a woman with flour-dusted hands pose to the throne?

But Kiala is no ordinary baker. She is the lost Ice Dragon Princess, a woman thought to have perished an avalanche. Hiding in plain sight, she has spent years concealing her identity, waiting for a day when she could truly be free.
When Asante unknowingly pulls her into his world, she sees an opportunity-one that could change her fate forever.

As the lines between deception and desire blur, Asante finds himself enchanted by the woman who was never meant to be his. And when enemies from their people's shared past resurface, threatening to destroy them both, he must decide: will he protect his kingdom, or risk everything for the woman who just might be his destiny?
