Princess Ava Timna is prisoner of the king of Zebulun, doomed to become his sex slave. Escape means certain death but staying only delays the inevitable, the loss of her virginity. To her people, her virginity is sacred, something to be treasured and given as a gift to her future husband. Giving herself to King Ean isn't an option. He's known for defiling women and casting them aside. She expects abuse and harshness at his hands, yet his gentle touch leaves her breathless and aching for more. King Ean of Zubulun has a secret he’s not willing to share. He's not who others believe him to be and his secret identity changes everything. Keeping Ava prisoner weighs on his conscious. Keeping her means giving in to the lustful fire burning in his loins, knowing all the while he's lying to the one woman he wishes could be more than his princess slave.

This read may not be for every one but I personally enjoyed the read and the plot. Even though this is the first book in the series, I read Runaway Princess first and truly enjoyed that read.
This story was a nice ok read. It's a short novella about a princess, Ava who was captured on a planet, held captive and now the ruler of the planet Ean aka Jaron seems to be interested in her. All this seems strange because she has always heard stories of the planet and the cruelty of women by the ruler himself. What Ava finds strange is that he has been kind to her and has not made an attempt to rape her to prove the rumors true. With his kindness Ava starts to develop feelings for the king.
She wants to fight her feelings towards Ean aka Jaron and go home. But later will reveal why Ean is not really Ean but Jaron, Ean's twin brother. This book has very explicit sexual content as it is erotica. The storyline wasn't too bad and I didn't find the read to be too bad either. I have read the follow up to this book Runaway Princess, with Ava's sister and I liked that read as well. That book is a full length novel. Not sure how others will receive both books but it was a quick short nice read for me. Can't wait to read the remaining sisters.
