All she has to do is kidnap the crowned princess of the northern Queendom, Princess Joana of Arethusa. The prize is just within reach. But sparks fly as the two women collide.

Something’s coming and Shea is at the center of it.

EXCERPT
“I suggest moving that hand if you plan on
keeping it.”
He lets go immediately and sets his palms flat on
the table as a peace offering.
Shea relaxes but only just, sitting back down in
her seat lightly. She keeps a steady grip on her gold long sword.
“My apologies for startling you,” he
soothes.
Shea laughs darkly and his shoulders tense.
“Look I’m not for sale the same way the
other ladies are. Not all elves serve,” Shea mutters, “so if you’ll excuse
me…”
“No,” he objects quickly.
He almost lifts his palms off the bar but instead
flexes his fingers against the surface before relaxing them flat onto the
counter.
“Please. I mean to hire you for another
reason.”
Shea stays where she is. She doesn’t know why but
the man piques her interest as she observes his submissive position. She
stands, turns, and leans her back against the bar, noting how the hooded man
averts his gaze away from her so his face is still obscured.
“I’m not sure you know who I am,” Shea
chuckles.
“I know who you are,” he states.
“Then what could you possibly need me for?” Shea
asks, genuinely curious.
Surprisingly, it’s not often that dark strangers
find her in the night to propose business propositions.
“I need you to steal something. From what I know,
that’s kind of what you do.”
“Depends on the something.”
“Something of great value,” he explains.
“Right,” Shea deadpans.
“A princess.”
“Of course.”
“This is serious.”
“I bet,” Shea grins, “Which princess?”
“The crown princess of Arethusa,” he
whispers.
“Careful mate,” Shea’s eyes narrow, glancing
around casually, “Around here that’s treason.”
“Among me and my fellows, we’re calling it a
political coup.”
“Don’t they all.”
Shea turns back to face the bar letting her hips
lean against the edge and downs the new tankard.
