Garden of Lilies by Lorraine Margaret

Can one funny, idealistic, loving little Princess really negotiate a relationship with a wild, highly sexual alpha male from the slums?

In Bodhadia, there has been a savage eleven-year war between the repressive, authoritarian Niron and the freedom-loving Temujis, led by the battle-hardened, tempestuous Johnny. To Johnny’s amazement, the defeated Prince Benjamin presents him with his cousin, the beautiful and spiritual Princess Irisa, as a final gesture of surrender. Johnny is stunned when he feels immediate, intense empathy for the fragile little Princess with the enormous, terrified sapphire eyes. When those eyes meet his for the first time, he knows his world has changed forever. The sheltered Princess Irisa wonders how she can ever live alongside the depraved Temujis, yet as her eyes meet Johnny’s she immediately feels their magical connection and knows that, somehow, she is destined for this mercurial, beautiful man.
Irisa is left at Johnny’s mercy in an alien culture to acclimatise to a life of seeming debauchery. As she gets to know Johnny and his kind, sensitive best friend, Jake, she learns more about their wild, sensual lives and the infamous harem of women that caters for their every desire. Her bond with Johnny deepens, but the sexual rituals of the harem cause passionate arguments that threaten to destroy her feisty, yet sensitive, spirit; can love really be enough to overcome their seemingly insurmountable differences? As Johnny unearths the tender, spiritual love deep within him and Irisa discovers the depth of passion and desire in her, can they compromise for the sake of nurturing their profound connection? Despite their impetuous, self-willed natures can they fulfil their soulmate bond? Or will their union prove impossible and their love devastate them both?
