Warrior of Ice by Michelle Willingham

No man ever wanted her…except the man no one ever loved.

Lady Taryn of Ossoria has survived betrayal, pain, and scars that make people turn away from her. She’s accepted the truth: no man will want her. But when her father is imprisoned by a merciless overlord, Taryn strikes a dangerous bargain with Irish warrior Killian MacDubh.
A bastard by birth, Killian has fought for every scrap of respect—and challenging the High King could finally secure the future he’s earned. The last thing he needs is a bold noblewoman complicating his plans… especially one who awakens a forbidden hunger.

As secrets unravel and enemies step from the shadows, Taryn and Killian are forced to make a choice: save their loved ones—or risk everything on a love worth dying for.
