Why Read This?

A subversive and empowering romance that delivers intense chemistry and a satisfying challenge to traditional power structures.

Synopsis

It is only a matter of time before you want me, before you ache for me… For centuries women have reigned in Amarra. Now Olerra, fearless warrior princess and queen potential, is ready to make her bid for the throne. But to do so she must prove her worth by kidnapping and taming a husband. Not just any – the best. The most beautiful prince of their greatest enemy, the kingdom of Brutus, where men are still in control. Then in a terrible twist of fate, Olerra steals the wrong prince. Her betrothed, a proud, hot-headed fighter, does not want to be mastered – nor to admit the growing attraction he feels towards his captor. As scheming rivals gather to threaten the kingdom and her life, can Olerra make her plan work before her heart takes over? What Fury Brings is an unforgettably fierce and spicy romantasy featuring a gender reversed power dynamic, a matriarchal world and kidnapped husband.
