*This steamy historical romance is intended for a mature audience. Scenes depicting power exchanges and sensual intimacy may be unsuitable for some readers.
This is book 2 in the Without Mercy series. It is a standalone love story, but the mystery builds throughout the series and will be more satisfying if it is read in chronological order: Unbowed book 1), Unseen (book 2), Unchosen (book 3), and Untamed (book 4).*
