A prince raised in honor and tradition, a woman raised with nothing at all. She wants to steal their most sacred treasure. He’ll do anything to protect it, even if it means marrying a thief. Prince Jin is a man raised in honor and tradition, so it comes as a great surprise when he is compelled to claim a stranger as his bride who has neither. Francesca La Rosa is hardly a match fit for a prince. Though beautiful, she is a thief with one thing on her mind—stealing the sacred Jade Phoenix of his people. But the mystery doesn’t end there. With the aid of his ancestral spirits, he must discover who this woman is, why she would destroy the Zhang Empire and, most of all, if she could ever return the love that is growing in his heart.
