He couldn’t allow his enemies to win.

In a room full of beautiful women, his interest was captured by a beauty that wanted nothing to do with him.  Except that she caught on fire when he touched her and her soft, sensuous body inflamed him with need.
  What was a man to do?  Accept the challenge of convincing the lovely Shanelle to fall in love with him.  Over a weekend of passionate kisses and stolen passion, Shanelle and Malik discovered that protecting the kingdom could be quite exhilarating.
  A very short novella by Elizabeth Lennox!  Enjoy!
