Part of Series
Lord Gregor of Nordan has never wanted a woman like he does Lady Anaisse of Sudhra. After the defeat of her homeland in the Sudhraian-Nordanese war, he makes the "sacrifice" of doing something completely against his country's tradition—taking her to wife. However, convincing her to allow him within her body, let alone her heart, will be another war entirely. Anaisse agrees to the arrangement out of duty to her country, but Gregor frightens her deeply. He seduces her repressed sexual desires to wild and beautiful life, and makes every one of her fantasies come true. Never has she met a man she could so easily lose herself to, body and soul—and losing herself to a man is her greatest fear. But another man lurks in the shadows with the sole purpose of destroying their union. He waits and watches with a mind grown twisted by the defeat of his people. His goal is to make Anaisse embrace death, instead of Gregor.
Author
Anya Bast is the author of numerous works of romantic fiction, mostly all paranormal and mostly all scorching hot. She lives in the country with her husband, daughter, eight cats, a dog, and an odd assortment of rescued animals. She grew up in Minnesota and still favors the colder climates. After high school she moved to the southeast United States where she attended college. While in graduate school she sold her first book and decide to pursue her lifelong dream of writing instead of a career in psychology. Somewhat reclusive by nature, she can be drawn out with a good bottle of red wine, classic movies, or good music. When she’s not writing, she can be found trying to grow organic vegetables, shopping in thrift stores for that perfect piece of clothing, or dreaming about travel to some faraway country. She’s hard at work on a brand new series for Berkley Sensation right now, while winding up her national bestselling Elemental Witches quartet.
