Synopsis (Goodreads):
He made a bargain. She was the payment.

Torn from her quiet life on Earth, Cam doesn’t expect to end up enslaved to an alien ruler. But even as he trains her to submit to him, she begins to see through her master’s cold facade. While her body learns to surrender, her heart learns to love.

Exiled by his people, Kievan Rus has fought to establish his place in the galaxy. The space station he rules with icy control is the outward symbol of his success and it means everything to him - until a beautiful woman challenges his restraint. Her warmth eases the cold he has felt for so long.

But Kievan has promised a trained human female to a member of the Royal House. If he fails to deliver, everything he has struggled for is in danger, including the lives of everyone on board his station.

Can Kievan abandon everything he has built? And if not, can Cam’s love survive such a brutal betrayal?
Thoughts on Cam and the Conqueror: I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about Kievan going into this book. For one, he was kind of a jerk to Beth and Dragar when they ended up on his station. I mean, dude. No. Just no. The fact that Beth felt some of his loneliness and sense of alienation beneath the ruthless image he projected was possibly his one redeeming grace. Well, that and he shielded Beth and Dragar from falling into the hands of a very bad man.

In other words, the guy might have been a jerk, but he wasn't a total jerk and SOMETIMES PEOPLE CHANGE.

That said, Kievan was in a tough situation when he took Cam in (which is my nice way of saying "abducted"). He needed to placate the royal he'd defied and handing over a trained human female seemed like a small enough price to pay. Except, he started to have THE FEELINGS for Cam. And THE FEELINGS made things messy.

As for Cam, she was a pretty forgiving lady. The fact she'd been abducted and forced into slavery with the sole intent of being the plaything for a bad man (although she didn't know that part), made her forgiveness of Kievan downright saintly. Being in love with the big jerk might have helped the forgiveness part along, though.

Some sexy time. Some confrontation. Some soul searching by an alien who ends up being an a-okay guy. An a-okay guy with a few dominant tendencies. Niiiiiice.
