Layla never intended to return to his world. But when her daughter’s life depended on a bone marrow transplant, she had no choice.

To save her seriously ill daughter, single mother Layla has no choice but to seek help from the city’s powerful and enigmatic ruler, Zaley Raines—the only compatible bone marrow donor.
