Intro. General Draiven never expected to find a woman who would truly love him for who he was. At 44, he was in his prime—successful, victorious, and undefeated in battle after battle and challenge after challenge. He had earned his place among nobles and royalty, standing among them as one of their own. But his love life was nonexistent. Women were either intimidated by him or slowly drifted away. Between his well-known personality and the fact that he was always in high demand for duty, Draiven never imagined any woman would want him as he was. Until he meets someone—a beautiful woman, sweet, precious, and bubbly—and he can’t look away.
