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.
