House witch Finlay Ashowan is pulled out of the kitchen-and into the fire-as war, family, and love collide in the third book of this fantasy romance series.

Having somehow convinced Lady Annika Jenoure to marry him, all Finlay Ashowan wants to do is settle down, cook some good meals, and enjoy a quiet life in Daxaria. But fate has different plans . . .

Fin's father, Aidan Helmer - servant of King Matthias of Troivack - has arrived in the kingdom with devastating news- Annika's brother Charles has been taken prisoner, and the only way his life will be spared is if she or Fin pleads his case.

Now it's up to Fin, with the help of his wily kitten, Kraken, to attempt a daring mission of rescue and espionage. But he'll need to move quickly before his kingdom, and life, goes up in flames.
