Amber Inferno

Princess Rayne has spent her life trying to be the son her father lost, but her feisty, independent, feminine spirit yearns for a different life. A life with the passionate Prince Pentar, but he hardly seems to notice her. So when she's offered a chance to save her world, she agrees, and who should be drafted as her partner in the quest but the impossibly unattainable Pentar.

Prince Pentar reluctantly accepts his participation in Rayne's mission. It's not that he's not patriotic. He is, and he knows his duty. No, it's Rayne. His spell-casting won't reveal his soulmate, he's getting restless—not to mention lonely--and now he has to spend his time in the company of a woman he wants so bad he hurts, but she won't so much as look at him. A quest for a magical artifact, villains out to destroy them, an entire world hanging in the balance... In the crucible of magic and peril, secret desires become an Amber Inferno of passion.

Readers may want to read the prequel to this book Silver Fire, but it is not necessary.
