Dragon of the Island (Dragon of the Island #1)
Mary Gillgannon

Aurora is the princess of the Roman outpost, Viroconium, who offers herself to Maelgwn in exchange for sparing her city.
Independent, intelligent, and used to getting their own way, Aurora and Maelgwn are thrust together by circumstance—and by an attraction both physical and emotional. Beset by enemies, divided by treachery, they're epic characters in a love story that will take your breath away.
