Seyra has been trained to kill without hesitation, without feeling. But when she is assigned the mission to assassinate Prince Kaelion-the key to winning the war-her world begins to waver.
In Morvalan, nothing is as she expected: her enemy is not a tyrant but a man with eyes that see more than they should. As danger grows and lies entwine, Seyra faces the one rule she was never supposed to break: not letting herself be pricked by the thorns of her enemy. Which is difficult, because a rose will always prick, no matter how beautiful it is, and thorns always leave scars.

My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.Complete
