Heart Of Aurum

Ronan knew that his army was no greater than king Cyrus, and war was not something he wished to bring onto his people.

One thing. The king wished for one thing only.

A maiden born with the blood of leprechaun. A woman with a heart of gold. She is what the king needed to rid himself of the disease plaguing him. Surely, the woman would die- but his very own people were at risk if he denied the quest; the prophecy.

The only dilemma presented:

She hasn't been born yet.

Lucky for his people, Ronan was a patient man.

Ailish is a bitter woman- she's spent too much time alone after being in an abusive relationship, and can care less for others. Her heart is hidden and so are her feelings; she can't risk letting loose again.

Ronan has a duty to protect his Kelpie people, and war is surely going to kill thousands. The only way to not start this mess is to give king Cyrus what he wants- a woman with the heart of gold; The last leprechaun existing.

Setting out to kidnap her and exchange the estranged bitter woman for a peace treaty should be easy, right? It's what he waited a hundred years for... only now he fully understands what he's trading over.

And he's can feel himself hesitating in the beautiful woman's grasp.

Aren't leprechauns supposed to be little angry men dressed in green?
Not bonny women dressed in lavish silk and sharp green eyes staring at his every move... will the roles be reversed? Will she be after his heart instead?

It's a Kings world out there- war may be in the cards after all.
