Born and raised as enemies.

Loyalty to her lord sends the Sakar woman-warrior, Nuwaa, to where her tribe's hated enemy, the Kebo, are hunting.

Her mission—to kill the Kebo leader. Instead, she becomes the prisoner of their powerful war-liege, Bor. His mission—to turn the bound woman into a sex-hungry creature worthy of his leader.

But Nuwaa is nothing like the submissive slave-whores Bor is accustomed to. Instead, he finds himself pitted against a courageous if helpless adversary. His plan to strip her of her pride doesn't count on the undaunted warrior spirit that is part of her heart and soul. A mutual but wary respect blooms. Still neither is prepared for the intense attraction that engulfs them.

During their days and nights together on the trip back to the Kebo village, each reveals things about themselves that will change them forever. But unquestioned loyalty to their lieges is ingrained, and neither suspects the treachery and deceit awaiting them at journey's end, that will threaten their survival and rip them apart.
