Descended from a long line of aristocratic vampires, Dawn has been married by proxy to an elf prince to settle the cold war. But when her brother is caught in a failed attempt to kill their king, she must trust the husband she hardly knows to save her brother's life. Prince Aaron cannot ignore the fact that Dawn's brother confessed to wanting to murder the elf king, who is now missing, even for the sake of peace between himself and his new bride. Unless a living body can be found, Dawn will surely never forgive him for ordering her brother's execution. Even if he should succeed, Dawn's body is out of Aaron's reach. He is cursed by the dragons, and everything his skin touches turns to gold. Despite Aaron's attraction to his wife, he must keep a careful hold over his lust, otherwise a single touch could mean her life.
