She’d walk through fire to save their world. To claim her, he’d let it all burn.
Her widowed heart freshly healed, Lavinia wants nothing more than to bind herself to Ivan, the man who adores her fatherless sons almost as much as he loves her. Then duty calls her to risk their future and return to a life she’d fled — to a man who wants her as much as she fears him.
Tasked with escorting Lavinia back to the land of her birth, Ivan pledges his heart along with his protection. He’ll have his mark upon her within days. But no sooner do they arrive than her previous life threatens to tear her away forever.
Haunted by the mistakes of her past, Lavinia would do anything to redeem herself and save her people. Consumed by desire, Ivan must decide if passion is worth more than the survival of his race.
Duty or love? They can’t have both.
(Blurb from Goodreads)
This is the fourth Denali Day book I’ve read in the Dokiri Brides series (the first is the free prologue) and I was really wondering how it could possibly be different from the other three. And I was so happy and excited to see the setting change, and move to where Lavinia grew up!
I also loved how Lavinia was a widow who Ivan actually knew and formed a friendship with first; much different than the other books where the Dokiri men kidnap their brides.
This is actually the perfect book series to turn into a Netflix series. Netflix, are you listening?
If you enjoy easy to read fantasy (nothing too crazy with land names and too complex worlds, which can take you out of the story) and romance, than give Ivan the Bold a read!
