Battle Prize [Paperback]

**Battle Prize** - A sizzling romance that proves love conquers all, even when wrapped in sword fights and swagger.

When fierce warrior Cassandra is captured as a battle prize, she expects chains and misery - not to find herself utterly captivated by her brooding captor, Lord Darius. What starts as defiant glares across the castle hall transforms into stolen kisses and midnight confessions. This enemies-to-lovers tale explores themes of power, freedom, and finding strength in vulnerability.

Perfect for romance readers who love their historical fiction with extra heat, strong heroines who don't need rescuing (thank you very much), and heroes who actually deserve the leading lady. Patina Paperbacks delivers escapist fiction that doesn't insult your intelligence - think bodice-ripping meets actual character development.

This preloved paperback has lived a little but still has plenty of swoon-worthy moments left to share.

**Reader Reviews:**
"Had me blushing on public transport - worth every mortifying moment!"
"Finally, a historical romance where the heroine has an actual backbone AND a brain!"
