A midnight ride. A crown in danger. A love worth the risk.

Philippa Secord has always belonged in the stables more than the ballroom. With only the company of horses to ease the neglect of her stepmother, she clings to her home with everything she has left. But when a midnight ride leads her straight into an invasion, she finds herself caught in a battle with stakes far greater than her own survival.

Prince William wasn't supposed to be king so soon, but with his father gone and the kingdom’s future in jeopardy, he must secure his throne — and that means securing a bride. Determined to inspire hope in his people, he plans a ball to announce his betrothal. Yet when the borders are threatened, William discovers that trust may be the most dangerous gamble of all.

Drawn together by loyalty and the whisper of something more, Philippa and William must stop the invasion before the kingdom falls. But in a world of secrets, swords, and stolen midnight rides, love could prove the most perilous risk of all.
