When Jalal's father sends her to seduce a powerful warrior set on invading his domain, she's nervous but committed. Only when she sees Enrick the Attacker does she realize her work might not be all that unpleasant. Enrick recognizes the young beauty for what she is—a seductress set on foiling his plans. His response? Tease her, arouse her, make her want him more than she's ever wanted anything before—and then withdraw his affections until she admits the truth. A battle is about to ensue in Enrick's tent tonight… This story is the prequel to the Brides of Caralon series.
