Alexis Morgan continues her red-hot paranormal series with a
mysterious warrior and his forbidden love for a woman who's allegiance
lies with his sworn enemy. . . .
Once a warrior for the Others, Barak q'Young is caught between two
worlds -- exiled from his homeland, and a pariah among his enemies, the
Paladins. While hunting a betrayer who's selling the precious blue gems
that light the Others' world, Barak must aid geologist Lacey Sebastian
in her research for the Paladins. Barak is instantly drawn to the fiery,
beautiful woman, but Lacey initially despises the enemy intruder. Soon
she sees beyond his violent past, though, finding the dark warrior
intriguing -- and extremely sexy.
Though neither can resist the passion that blazes between them, Barak is
torn between loyalties, hiding a secret gift that could prove useful to
Lacey's research, at the sacrifice of his own people. But when Lacey is
kidnapped and held hostage, Barak realizes he will do anything to save
her . . . even risk his own life.
