Thief of Hearts (A Novella of the Pruxnae)
Lucy Varna
On the eve of her appointment to the ranks of the elite Queen's Guard, Alna Lomig bumps into Gared ab Einif. Her wariness of the handsome Pruxnæ melts under his roguish charm, softening her resistance to his gentle courtship. When he sneaks into her room in the House of Jakuv, she offers one night of shelter and nothing more, certainly not the kiss he's come to claim.
Gared has more than a single kiss on his mind. He's searching for the one woman who can give him his most secret desire. To get it, he's not above kidnapping a beautiful Lady Warrior and hiding her away in her home planet's dense jungle.
The jungle holds more than refuge. Within its verdant foliage lurks a danger even a wily Pruxnæ isn't prepared for, forcing Alna and Gared to face the truth lying within their hearts before the jungle destroys them both.
