The Summer Court is in an uproar. The king has just been executed for unpardonable crimes, and the queen is prostrate with grief over his loss. This leaves the Summer kingdom bereft of true leadership; a problem which is compounded by the fact that the laws of Fairie require balance to be maintained by having a male and a female ruler for both Season Courts at all times. Uaine, the Summer prince, is the only one who can put things right, but he is without a mate. Knowing that he must take a bride quickly, for the sake of his people, even though he is struggling with his own feelings of pain and anger over his father's treachery, he goes for a walk in a forest near the palace to try to clear his head and determine how best to choose a female to rule beside him.
While walking Uaine discovers a human female running loose in Fairie, which is against the most basic tenets of Fae law. Furious at one more problem he must deal with, he takes her prisoner and locks her in the dungeon; only to discover later that she is his soul-mate. The magical bond between them means they are meant to be together forever, but humans can't feel the magic of Fairie. Will Uaine be able to win her heart and convince her that she can trust him to keep her safe from all the dangers of Fairie...including himself?

Unfortunately for her, she soon finds that her heart, which she had thought long ago turned to stone, has begun to feel the love she has been playing at. Will she be able to overcome a lifetime of caution and allow herself to follow her heart? Can a criminal love a cop?
Excerpt from Bound By The Summer Prince:
Roni lay with her head pillowed on Uaine’s shoulder, and his arm around her. Just the feel of his body next to hers was enough to bring carnal images to her mind. Tilting her head up, she looked at him and gave him a wicked smile.
Laughing at the mischief in her expression, Uaine said, “And just what might you be thinking?”
“Would you like me to show you?”
“Hmmmm…I don’t know. That’s quite a look of deviltry in your eyes.”
“Ha! Coward! You can dish it out, but you can’t take it?”
“Ah, how could any male refuse such a challenge?” He smiled. “Do your worst, my love.”
Sitting up, Roni pulled her shirt over her head and wiggled out of her pants. Wearing only her lacy bra and panties, she got up onto her knees and put her hands on her hips, looking at the prince appraisingly.
Uaine just lay back, with his arms crossed behind his head, and cocked an eyebrow at her.
Grinning, she grabbed his shirt and yanked it over his head, so it covered his face.
He started to sit up. “Hey!”
She put a hand on his chest and pushed him back down. “Uh, uh, uh! Stay where you are.”
When he had subsided, Roni kissed his exposed neck, and down to his collarbone. Uaine’s breathing deepened, as she slowly made her way down to his chest. Running her fingers lightly over his body, she traced the outlines of his muscles.
Gently plucking at his nipples with her fingers, she kissed her way down his chest to suck the right one between her lips. While her right hand played with his left nipple, her left hand slowly trailed down to cup him through his pants. He bucked into her hand, and moaned as she began to caress him.
