    Summary

    Strands of dark hair fell over the smooth skin of his forehead. A lazy constellation of freckles dotted his cheeks from the line of his nose to nearly his temple. Dark brown eyes glared up at him, the heat of them weaker than it could have been for the man’s circumstances. Fear lived in his gaze more than ferocity.

    Ilya didn’t think it suited him, that fear.
    _______________________

    Ilya is the second son of an aristocratic family, languishing in his own boredom. Shane is a horse-archer captured by guards during a skirmish, brought to Muscovy by force. When told to pick a prize for himself, Ilya chooses Shane -- and everything that comes afterwards.
