Coveted

He Was Meant to Execute Her. He Didn't Expect to Fall in Love with Her.

The law says halflings must die, and Saradess has spent her life hiding the blood that makes her one of the hunted. For her, survival has always meant keeping her head down and avoiding attention at all costs. She knows little about her strange powers, except that they must stay secret.

Lord Rakkyr came to find a stray halfling who was terrorizing his lands, but he wasn't anticipating her. Thoughts of duty and ancient law fade into the background as the scandalous and enticing secrets of halflings rise to the surface. Ignoring her is impossible, and letting her go isn't an option.

Saradess is now being hunted for reasons she never expected and finds herself trapped beneath the roof of the man who should be her enemy. But Rakkyr is nothing like the monster she assumed he would be.

Patient, steadfast, and determined to keep her, Rakkyr challenges everything she thought she knew about his people. It makes trusting him, and desiring him, a danger she can't resist.

But Saradess isn't the only halfling on the loose, and Rakkyr isn't the only one on the hunt.
