BLURB:
On the continent
of Gaia, evil is brewing. Turncoat wizard, Balthyser, kidnaps the kings of
Dahaka and Tapin. He wants the green rose, a source of powerful magic.
Princess Sonia
of Tapin is forced to hunt down the rose in exchange for her father's life.
It's the ultimate betrayal of Gaia's peace, but she has no choice if she wants
to save her father.
Prince Ivánstan
of Dahaka accompanies her on the journey. Both face challenges and obstacles that
test their strength of character during the hunt for the rose. Dare Sonia put
her trust and faith in a man she hardly knows to secure Gaia's peace or will
the continent's harmony be shattered forever?
Excerpt:
His
lips brushed against her ear, sending a warm pulse of physical awareness
through her. Ivánstan was all male. Slowly, she turned around in his arms to
gaze into his eyes. They were soft now, the orange reminding her of the sun;
his pupils, while still slitted, were narrow.
He
said nothing, but held her firmly. Her heart pounded an erratic rhythm. What
was he doing to her? Was the magic in their blood at work between them? Why did
being in his arms bring her a sense of comfort? Protection? Desire? Could she
even trust these feelings?
He
leaned forward, opening his lips, his mouth skirting hers, teasing, tempting,
before he gently covered her. He kissed her slowly, heightening the pleasure that
spiked in her body as her breasts tingled against the fabric of her clothes.
One of his hands rested at the base of her spine, supporting her. The other
hand he brought up to her face and brushed his fingers against her cheek as
they kissed.
By
Nyla, she could barely stand, so lost was she in the pleasure of his lips. Fear
quickened through her. No man had ever kissed her like this before -- so
tenderly, so reverently. She placed her hands over his chest and pushed him
away gently, placing distance between them.
Ivánstan
cupped her cheek as confusion splayed across his handsome features.
"What's wrong?"
"Why
did you kiss me?"
Amusement
filled his eyes. "Truth be told, I find you attractive."
