Eliana Daere is the greatest herbalist alive. Only one man exists whom she fears-one man who constantly thwarts her will, one handsome, insolent and gifted sorcerer. But Damir will never turn down her offer of an alliance, and when he drinks of the Wine of Truce, Eliana will spring her trap. He's never trusted Eliana Daere. Her beauty has haunted him since their school days, but she has reputedly aligned herself with the enemy. That is why Damir finds Eliana's offer hard to swallow. When she falls into his hands, he feels no remorse about teaching her a lesson-a gentle one. He will craft a seduction so potent that, in the end, she will have to admit to her own desire. It is a strange brew that brings them together, but nonetheless the sweetest he has ever tasted.
