The first time Arabella saw elves, they were marching off to war. She thought it would be the last time.
When Arabella finds an injured elf knight in a frozen river, she has no choice but to nurse him back to health. Her duty as a healer demands it. All goes well with her silent companion until he wakes and proves himself to be the arrogant creature the tales warned about. Worst, she learns that his injuries are far more grave and far more difficult to treat than she imagined. Now Arabella is in a race against time to find a dangerous cure for an admittedly handsome, but terribly disagreeable patient. All while Raynor's beautiful violet eyes watch her more closely every day.
Raynor never expected to find himself in the care of a human woman. He expected to die in that river with his men. Due to the nature of his injury, Raynor knows that death is not far off. But there's no point explaining this to his head-strong yet beautiful caretaker, Arabella. Despite the futility of the endeavor, she refuses to stop caring for him and refuses to stop risking her life to try and heal him. Trapped in her small cottage by his injuries, with each passing day he finds himself more intrigued by her fierce, unrelenting spirit. By her gentle, skilled hands. And by her brave, wild heart. A heart that reminds him so much of his own people.
When violence comes to her home in the night, Raynor learns that Arabella has enemies. Deadly ones. Unfortunately for them, Raynor is just as deadly.
